FAQs

Capnea Solution 1ml contains 'Caffeine Citrate', which belongs to the central nervous system (CNS) stimulants class. It works in three different ways. 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 Capnea Solution 1ml effectively regulates the mean respiratory rate and tidal volume, improves pulmonary blood flow, decreases carbon dioxide sensitivity and enhances diaphragmatic function and breathing pattern.

No, it is intended to treat primary apnoea of premature newborns/neonates.

The dosage is determined by your baby's weight, medical problems, and responsiveness to therapy. Before determining the dose, it is also necessary to establish the baseline serum caffeine levels in children born to caffeine-consuming mothers.
