The following consent is for at-home therapy with Ketamine in any form and taken via any route. The Ketamine that will be prescribed to you is a controlled substance. It is important that you do not drive a vehicle, operate heavy machinery, give your consent, or sign important documents within 4 hours of each dose of intranasal Ketamine you self-administer, assuming you have followed the prescription instructions. In the event that the usage of Ketamine results in the loss of life, limb, or monetary loss, you release Dr. David Mahjoubi, MD and Ketamine Healing Clinic of Los Angeles, Inc., from all liability. Please exercise caution and do not take more than that which is prescribed to you. If you are feeling dizzy, you must sit or lay down, and stop what you are doing. While intranasal or oral Ketamine does benefit many people, every individual responds differently, and not everyone will gain immediate or long-term relief from Depression, Chronic Pain, or any other mood irregularity. Ketamine is not a cure for any condition. At some point you will need a maintenance aka “booster” infusion-the time period to that point significantly varies between patients and is impossible to predict. Due to California Medical Board and DEA guidelines, the Ketamine Healing Clinic must evaluate you either in person or via an online evaluation every 3-4 months to continue prescribing the controlled substance Ketamine for at home use. We are required by law to run a background check for controlled substances prescribed every time we grant refills, as well as update our records with your health history and any concomitant changes. Such reevaluation may include submitting a urine and/or blood toxicology screen. This takes time and this, in addition to the increase cost of supplies, wages, etc are the reason for the renewal fee. If you are receiving Ketamine from this clinic, infusions must be done at this clinic as well. Dr. Mahjoubi reserves the right to discontinue intranasal or oral Ketamine therapy if he deems such therapy to be ineffective, addictive, or for any other reason. Rarely, usage of oral or nasal Ketamine may cause transient or permanent changes to your ability to taste, smell, or urinate. Other changes reported “online” but not seen by Dr. Mahjoubi include changes to visual, bladder or kidney function. Rarely, if a person abuses or excessively uses Ketamine, "Ketamine bladder" may develop. If you are experiencing incontinence or abdominal pain, stop the usage of Ketamine and inform Dr. David Mahjoubi. It is required that every patient that is prescribed at home ketamine complete a yearly laboratory work: CBC, CMP, and liver function tests. PRESCRIPTION REFILLS DIRECTIONS: Please allow up to 3 business days for your request to be processed and also allow up to 3 business days for a reply to your email. • For refills, please reach out to your pharmacy directly. Please have the pharmacy send an “electronic request” or email nurse@ketaminehealing.com • Early refills due to travel are not an emergency and should be planned well in advance (at least 7 days prior to your departure day). If you are traveling in between refills dates you are not eligible for an early refill (e.g. your refills dates are April 1 and May 1, and you are traveling April 5-25). Refills are processed during regular business hours on weekdays only, and getting an early refill due to travel does not change subsequent refill dates. • If there are 0 refills left on your prescription- if a consultation is required and you do not want to complete an infusion, please fill out the Rx Renewal found on the ketaminehealing.com website under “Forms." Please plan ahead of time with refills as there can be one week or more turn around time.
