Ketamine (Ketalar) is a dissociative general anesthetic that has been available by prescription in the U.S. since the 1970s for human and veterinary uses. It has also been used for pain control in burn therapy, battlefield injuries, and in children who cannot use other anesthetics due to side effects or allergies.
Most commonly used in the medical field as a cat or animal tranquilizer, Ketamine is also abused by humans who want to get âhigh.â Those who abuse Ketamine often use one of the following Ketamine street names to discuss the drug rather than referring to it by the true medical name.
