Product Introduction
Cafneon Os 20mg Injection contains the active ingredient caffeine, which belongs to the group of medicines called CNS stimulants. It is used in the treatment of apnoea of prematurity. It can be swallowed by mouth or given through a feeding bottle. Apnoea of prematurity is a condition in premature infants characterised by a stoppage of breathing lasting approximately 20 seconds, accompanied by a lowered heart rate and reduced oxygen supply to the tissues. If you are breastfeeding while your infant is being treated with Cafneon Os 20mg Injection, you should not drink coffee or consume caffeine-containing products, as caffeine may pass into the breast milk. Discuss with your doctor regarding any existing liver, kidney, or heart conditions. Additionally, it is important to inform the doctor if your child experiences seizure disorders, slow weight gain, or frequent regurgitation, as a precautionary measure. Inform your baby's doctor if the baby produces an unusually large amount of urine, has reduced weight gain or food intake, experiences unusual heart rhythms, or has been detected with heart or kidney disease. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if the mother consumed caffeine prior to delivery.
