This means that it has both dissociative and anesthetic effects. The compound induces a trance-like state, with effects like pain relief, sedation, and amnesia.
For this reason, it has become commonly used as a medication and anesthetic for both humans and in veterinary care.
Ketamine was originally synthesized by Calvin Stevens, a professor of chemistry at Wayne State University.
In 1970, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of ketamine (sold under the brand name Ketalar) as an anesthetic.
Following FDA approval, the drug was used during the Vietnam War to treat wounded soldiers. Ketamine is a fast-acting anesthetic and analgesic, so it proved extremely useful on the battlefield.
Ketamine continues use today as an anesthetic because it, unlike other anesthetics, increases heart rate and blood pressure.
