Uses of Capnea Injection

  • Apnea of prematurity

Benefits of Capnea Injection

Apnea of prematurity
In a premature baby, the part of the brain that controls breathing is not mature enough for nonstop breathing. This causes large bursts of breath followed by periods of shallow breathing or stopped breathing. This is called apnea or breathing trouble of prematurity. Capnea Injection helps to stimulate those areas of the brain that control breathing and normalise it. It is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse.

Side effects of Capnea Injection

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
Common side effects of Capnea
  • Delirium (acute confusional state)
  • Insomnia (difficulty in sleeping)
  • Frequent urge to urinate
  • Dehydration
  • Fever

How to use Capnea Injection

Your doctor or nurse will give you this medicine. Kindly do not self administer.

How Capnea Injection works

Capnea Injection is a stimulant. It works by blocking the action of certain natural substances (adenosine and phosphodiesterase) leading to stimulation of the brain and respiratory system in premature newborns. This reduces the number of episodes of interrupted breathing and helps the newborns breathe on their own.

Quick tips

  • Capnea Injection helps in the treatment of interrupted breathing in premature babies.
  • It is given as an injection (drip) by your doctor or nurse.
  • If you are breast-feeding while your infant is treated with Capnea Injection, do not drink coffee or take any other high caffeine product as caffeine passes into breast milk.
