Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

CAFIRATE SOLUTION is used in the treatment of primary apnea of premature newborns. The detailed uses of CAFIRATE SOLUTION are as follows:

  • Treats Primary Apnea in Premature Newborns: CAFIRATE SOLUTION stimulates the brain's respiratory centre to improve and regulate breathing patterns in newborns with apnea (interrupted breathing). It enhances blood circulation in the lungs to improve oxygen delivery, strengthens the diaphragm for more effective breathing, and helps the baby's body respond better to changes in carbon dioxide levels, thereby reducing episodes of apnea.

Medicinal Benefits

CAFIRATE SOLUTION contains 'Caffeine Citrate', which belongs to the central nervous system (CNS) stimulants class. It works in three different ways. Firstly, it is the adenosine receptor antagonist; secondly, it is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. And thirdly, it is an active intracellular calcium mobiliser. Collectively Caffeine stimulates the respiratory centre, sensitising it to hypercapnia. Thereby CAFIRATE SOLUTION effectively regulates the mean respiratory rate and tidal volume, improves pulmonary blood flow, decreases carbon dioxide sensitivity and enhances diaphragmatic function and breathing pattern.
