Capnea Injection 1ml

Product Overview

Capnea Injection is a prescription medication used to manage apnea of prematurity—a condition where breathing stops and starts repeatedly in premature newborns. It helps promote consistent breathing and reduces interruptions, supporting the baby’s respiratory function.

This injection is administered by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting. If you are breastfeeding while receiving this treatment, avoid consuming caffeine-rich products like coffee, as caffeine can pass into breast milk and potentially affect the infant.

Some mild side effects may occur, such as delirium, trouble sleeping, frequent urination, dehydration, rapid heartbeat, and fever. If these symptoms persist or cause concern, consult your doctor for advice on how to manage or alleviate them.

Uses of Capnea Injection

Management of apnea in premature infants.

Benefits of Capnea Injection

For Apnea of Prematurity:
In premature babies, the brain regions responsible for controlling breathing are not fully developed, leading to irregular breathing patterns, including shallow breaths or pauses in breathing. Capnea Injection helps activate and stimulate these brain regions, promoting stable breathing. It is delivered as an injection under medical supervision to ensure safe and effective treatment.

Side Effects of Capnea Injection

Most side effects are mild and tend to resolve as the body adjusts. However, speak with your doctor if symptoms continue or if you have any concerns.

Delirium (temporary confusion or disorientation)

Dehydration

Fever

Insomnia (difficulty sleeping)

Frequent urination

Instructions for Use

This injection should only be administered by a healthcare provider. Self-administration is not advised.

How Capnea Injection Works

Capnea Injection stimulates the respiratory centers in the brain by inhibiting certain substances such as adenosine and phosphodiesterase. This action encourages normal breathing patterns, reducing the frequency of breathing interruptions and helping premature infants breathe independently.
