Remember, if you are breastfeeding while your infant is treated with this medicine, then do not drink coffee or take any other high caffeine product as this passes into breast milk.

Uses of Capnea Oral Solution

  • Apnea of prematurity

Benefits of Capnea Oral Solution

Apnea of prematurity
Apnea of prematurity is a condition seen in premature babies where they stop breathing for short periods due to their underdeveloped breathing control system. Capnea Solution helps reduce the number and length of these breathing pauses, supporting more stable and regular breathing patterns. It improves oxygen levels, reduces the need for breathing support, and helps promote healthier growth and development during the early stages of life.

Side effects of Capnea Oral Solution

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
  • Increased glucose level in blood
  • Fast heart rate

How to use Capnea Oral Solution

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Capnea Solution may be taken with or without food.

How Capnea Oral Solution works

Capnea Solution 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 Solution helps in the treatment of interrupted breathing in premature babies.
  • If you are breast-feeding while your infant is treated with Capnea Solution, do not drink coffee or take any other high caffeine product as caffeine passes into breast milk.

Frequently asked questions

Capnea Solution 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. The medicine helps stimulate the baby’s brain and lungs to improve breathing.
Capnea Solution 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.
Capnea Solution 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 Capnea Solution is necrotizing enterocolitis (a life-threatening bowel condition), which 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, unusual sleepiness, or sudden changes in energy levels.
No, Capnea Solution is meant only for short-term treatment of apnea of prematurity, typically for 10 to 12 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 Capnea Solution 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 Capnea Solution 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.
