Michael Jackson died: Oral ketamine should never be prescribed. It can cause sudden death. A prescribed cream on your body works for some patients but do not eat the cream.

Ketamine: Ketamine is prescribed as topical cream for certain chronic pain condition. Ketamine infusion is used for certain chronic pain conditions. Oral ketamine is sometimes used for palliative care, not for chronic pain.
