Capnea Solution

Product Overview

Capnea Solution is a prescription medication used to treat apnea of prematurity, a condition where breathing stops and starts repeatedly in premature infants. This solution helps promote regular breathing and reduces episodes of interrupted breathing, supporting healthier respiratory function in newborns.

The medication is administered orally or through a gastric feeding tube by healthcare professionals. If you are breastfeeding while your infant is receiving this treatment, it is advised to avoid consuming caffeine-rich products like coffee, as caffeine can pass into breast milk and potentially affect the baby.

Common side effects include restlessness, trouble sleeping, headaches, dizziness, and an increased heart rate. If these side effects persist or worsen, contact your doctor for advice on managing them.

Benefits of Capnea Oral Solution

For Apnea of Prematurity:
Premature babies may experience breathing interruptions due to an underdeveloped respiratory control system. Capnea Solution helps decrease the frequency and duration of these pauses, promoting smoother and more stable breathing. It enhances oxygen intake, reduces the need for external respiratory support, and supports better growth and development during early life.

Side Effects of Capnea Oral Solution

Most side effects are temporary and resolve as the body adjusts to the medication. However, consult a healthcare provider if they persist or cause concern.

Restlessness

Headache

Dizziness

Increased heart rate

Insomnia (difficulty sleeping)

How to Use Capnea Oral Solution

How Capnea Oral Solution Works

This medication acts as a stimulant by blocking certain natural substances such as adenosine and phosphodiesterase. This action stimulates the brain and respiratory centers, helping premature newborns breathe more regularly and reducing episodes of apnea.
