Product introduction

Capnea Solution is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of apnea (a disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts) of prematurity. It facilitates normal breathing and reduces interrupted breathing in premature newborns.

Capnea Solution is given under the supervision of healthcare professionals. It is given by mouth or via a gastric feeding tube only. 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.

Some common side effects of using this medicine are restlessness, insomnia, headaches, dizziness, increased heart rate. Consult your doctor if these persist for a longer duration or get worse. They may be able to suggest ways to prevent or reduce these side effecrts.

How Capnea Oral Solution works
