Capnea Injection is a prescription medicine used to treat apnea in premature newborns, facilitating normal breathing and reducing interrupted breathing. Capnea Injection is given under the supervision of healthcare professionals. If you are breastfeeding while your infant is treated with this medicine, do not drink coffee or take any other high caffeine product as this passes into breast milk. Some common side effects of this medicine include mild delirium, insomnia, frequent urge to urinate, dehydration, tachycardia, and fever. Consult your doctor if these do not go away or persist for a longer duration.
Capnea Injection is a stimulant that works by blocking the action of certain natural substances (adenosine and phosphodiesterase) leading to stimulation of the brain and respiratory system in premature newborns, reducing the number of episodes of interrupted breathing and helping the newborns breathe on their own.
