BENEFITS OF CAFNEON 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. Cafneon 20mg/ml 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

HOW CAFNEON INJECTION WORKS

Cafneon 20mg/ml 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.
