Uses:

Cafirate 20mg Injection 1ml is commonly used to<br/> 1. Treat prematurity apnea:<br/>Caffeine citrate is most commonly used to treat premature infants, particularly those born preterm. Premature babies, particularly those born before 28 weeks of gestation, may experience pauses in breathing lasting more than 20 seconds (apnea). This is known as apnea of prematurity, and caffeine citrate is used to stimulate the respiratory centre in the brain, hence improving breathing and decreasing apnea episodes.<br/>2. Respiratory stimulation:<br/>Cafirate 20mg Injection 1ml works as a central respiratory stimulant, which means it can be beneficial in instances when respiratory function is limited, particularly in preterm infants with underdeveloped respiratory systems.<br/>3. Improvement of Diuresis:<br/>Caffeine is a moderate diuretic, but this is not the primary reason for its usage in therapeutic settings.<br/>4. Treatment for Neonatal Respiratory Depression:<br/>Caffeine citrate may be utilised in newborns with respiratory depression, particularly when it is associated with disorders such as hypoxia or birth asphyxia.
