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.
How Is Ketamine Used? Ketamineâs usage depends on the form it is in, of which there are three. The most common is a white powder, similar in appearance to cocaine. This form is popular because of how easy it is for users to control the dosage. The powdered form is generated through another form, liquid ketamine, which is the normal state that the drug is in when used for medical purposes. The third is as a tablet form, often cut with other drugs and sold as a variant of ecstasy.
