Product introduction

Uses of Cafneon Injection

  • Apnea of prematurity

Benefits of Cafneon 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. Cafneon 40mg 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 Cafneon 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 Cafneon
  • Limited data available

How to use Cafneon Injection

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

How Cafneon Injection works

Cafneon 40mg 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

  • Cafneon 40mg 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 Cafneon 40mg Injection, do not drink coffee or take any other high caffeine product as caffeine passes into breast milk.

Frequently asked questions

Cafneon 40mg Injection is a medicine given to premature babies who have apnea of prematurity. This condition causes infants to stop breathing for short periods because their breathing system is not fully developed. Cafneon 40mg Injection helps stimulate the baby’s brain and lungs to improve breathing.
Cafneon 40mg Injection works by stimulating the central nervous system and the baby’s breathing center. It makes the brain more responsive to carbon dioxide and helps reduce episodes where the baby stops breathing. It also improves muscle tone and decreases fatigue of the diaphragm, the muscle that controls breathing.
Cafneon 40mg Injection should not be given to infants who are allergic or hypersensitive to caffeine, or any of the ingredients in the medicine. If a baby has shown any allergic reaction to caffeine in the past, this medicine should be avoided.
One of the most serious risks linked to Cafneon 40mg Injection is necrotizing enterocolitis (a life-threatening bowel condition) that has been reported in premature babies during clinical studies. Because of this, babies receiving this medicine must be closely monitored for abdominal bloating, vomiting, bloody stools, or sudden changes in energy levels.
No, Cafneon 40mg Injection is meant only for short-term treatment of apnea of prematurity, typically for ten to twelve days. Its safety and effectiveness for long-term use, or for other conditions such as sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), have not been proven.
Before starting Cafneon 40mg Injection treatment, doctors should rule out other possible causes of apnea, such as infections, anemia, or lung disease. They may also need to check caffeine levels in babies who were previously given theophylline, or whose mothers consumed caffeine before delivery, since these can affect blood caffeine levels.
While the baby is on Cafneon 40mg Injection treatment, parents or caregivers should immediately contact the doctor if the baby develops a swollen belly, vomiting, bloody stools, unusual sleepiness, or seems unwell. These may be signs of serious complications such as necrotizing enterocolitis.
