Caffeine Citrate Injection USP 60mg/3ml Barista 3
Barista 3 Caffeine Citrate Injection USP 60 mg/3ml is a prescription drug used to treat apnoea of prematurity in neonates for a brief period of time. This is a syndrome affecting premature babies whose breathing control is still developing and there are pauses in breathing. Caffeine citrate is utilised under the direction of a medical specialist to help treat these occurrences. Ernest Pharmaceutical Pvt Ltd invites product enquiries from importers, pharmaceutical distributors, wholesalers, hospital supply partners and healthcare procurement teams including buyers that serve the domestic market across India.
Recognising Its Role in Neonatal Care
Premature babies may need to be watched closely and treated in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Doctors will first consider whether the pauses in breathing are caused by prematurity or by something else such as infection, anaemia or lung disease before prescribing caffeine citrate. For procurement teams, knowing the intended use of the medicine helps to ensure that a hospital requirement is matched to the right product, concentration and presentation.

How Does Caffeine Citrate Work?
Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system and helps to boost the impulse to breathe. Stimulation of respiratory centers and enhanced response to carbon dioxide are its effects. These actions help to explain its involvement in the management of apnoea of prematurity.
