Uses of Noapnea Injection
- Apnea of prematurity
Benefits of Noapnea Injection
In 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. Noapnea 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 Noapnea 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 Noapnea
- Delirium (acute confusional state)
- Insomnia (difficulty in sleeping)
- Frequent urge to urinate
- Dehydration
- Fever
How to use Noapnea Injection
Your doctor or nurse will give you this medicine. Kindly do not self administer.
How Noapnea Injection works
Noapnea 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.
