Product Introduction
Survanta 100mg injection contains beractant, a pulmonary surfactant extracted from bovine lung tissue. It is indicated for prevention and treatment of Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) in premature newborns with birth weight 700g or more, and in premature infants born before 32 weeks of gestation at risk of RDS who require endotracheal intubation for stabilisation. RDS occurs when the lungs of premature infants are incompletely developed, resulting in breathing difficulties.
Do not use Survanta 100mg injection if allergic to beractant or any ingredient in the formulation. Seek immediate medical attention if serious ocular symptoms or cardiac complications develop during treatment.
Common adverse effects include noisy breathing, feeding difficulties, bowel problems, and bleeding around the endotracheal tube.
Uses
Prevents and treats Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) in premature newborns.
How it works
Survanta 100mg injection works by providing a substance called surfactant to the baby's lungs. This surfactant helps the lungs work better by reducing the tension on the surfaces of the air sacs. It also helps keep the air sacs open and prevents them from collapsing during breathing. This makes it easier for the baby to breathe and improves their lung function.
How to Use
Survanta 100mg injection should be administered by a well-trained physician. It should be administered via the endotracheopulmonary route. A dose will be given through a tube or catheter placed in the windpipe. Your physician will decide the correct dosage and duration based on age, body weight, and disease condition. Do not self-administer.
Side Effects
Side effects are unwanted symptoms caused by medicines. Even though all medicines cause side effects, not everyone gets them. Serious Pale skin Slow heartbeat Breathing that stops Urinating less than usual Blood in the urine Common Noisy breathing Feeding or bowel problems Bleeding around the endotracheal tube.
Expert Tips
Survanta 100mg injection should only be administered in a closely monitored clinical setting by experienced physician familiar with premature infant care. Monitoring of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels is essential during treatment. If bradycardia or decreased oxygen saturation occurs during dosing, the procedure should be paused, and appropriate measures are taken. Notify your doctor if your baby experience any serious side effects. Contact your doctor for more information.
