Summary

This study looked at how the body processes esketamine (a drug used for depression and pain) when taken with grapefruit juice or cobicistat. Twelve healthy adults received esketamine as a nasal spray or by mouth, and their blood was tested for drug levels over 24 hours. The goal was to understand how these substances affect esketamine concentration, not to treat any disease.
