Firstly, it is the adenosine receptor antagonist; secondly, it is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. And thirdly, it is an active intracellular calcium mobiliser. Collectively Caffeine stimulates the respiratory centre, sensitising it to hypercapnia. Thereby CAFIRATE SOLUTION effectively regulates the mean respiratory rate and tidal volume, improves pulmonary blood flow, decreases carbon dioxide sensitivity and enhances diaphragmatic function and breathing pattern.
