CAPNEA INJECTION contains Caffeine which belongs to the group of medicines called CNS stimulants. It is used to treat primary apnea (episodes of interrupted breathing) in premature babies. Primary apnea in premature babies happens due to immature development of baby’s breathing centers.
CAPNEA INJECTION has been shown to reduce the number of episodes of interrupted breathing in premature newborns babies. It can also be used to treat and prevent bronchopulmonary dysplasia (airway damage) among premature babies.
Before CAPNEA INJECTION is administered, inform your doctor if you child has any liver, kidney or heart problems. You must also inform your doctor if your child suffers from seizure disorders, slow weight gain or frequent regurgitation (spitting up of milk or food) as a precaution.
If you are the mother of the premature infant who receives the treatment, you must not drink coffee or take foods which has high caffeine content. This is because the caffeine taken by the breastfeeding mother may pass through the breast milk to the nursing premature infant who is already receiving caffeine therapy and may lead to an overdosage. The most common side effect of CAPNEA INJECTION is fast or irregular heart rate. Consult your doctor if it worsens.
CAPNEA INJECTION is a CNS stimulant. It works by stimulating a part of the brain that controls breathing. As a result, the brain transfers a lot of breathing signals to the lungs which makes the lungs breathe more deeper and faster. It also increases the number of breathing cycles, prevents the airway damage and reduces the need for mechanical ventilation.
CAPNEA INJECTION will be administered by a doctor or a nurse into the vein of the child (intravenous drips). Your doctor will decide the correct dose and duration of therapy for your child based on their gestational age, body weight and health condition.
Contact your doctor immediately if you notice any of the following side effects in your child after CAPNEA INJECTION is administered:
