      • 10 mg/mL: Typically made isotonic with sodium chloride for gentle introduction.

Ketamine Hydrochloride Injection, USP is the official generic medical designation for the standardized, sterile liquid solution used in healthcare and oral surgery. The acronym USP stands for United States Pharmacopeia, which guarantees that the medication meets strict national legal standards for purity, strength, consistency, and quality.

Indication and Medical Use

  • Sole Anesthetic: Indicated for brief diagnostic and surgical procedures that do not require skeletal muscle relaxation.
  • Anesthesia Induction: Used to safely put a patient to sleep before transitioning them to gaseous general anesthetics.
  • Airway Retention: Highly valued in emergency medicine and oral surgery because it provides profound pain relief while allowing the patient to retain their natural airway reflexes and cardiovascular stability.
