Abbreviated New Drug Application
CAFFEINE CITRATE - CAFFEINE CITRATE INJECTION, SOLUTION FRESENIUS KABI USA, LLC ---------- CAFFEINE CITRATE INJECTION, USP Rx only DESCRIPTION Caffeine citrate injection, USP for intravenous administration is a clear, colorless, sterile, non-pyrogenic, preservative-free, aqueous solution adjusted to pH 4.7. Each mL contains 20 mg caffeine citrate (equivalent to 10 mg of caffeine base) prepared in solution by the addition of 10 mg caffeine anhydrous to 5 mg citric acid monohydrate, 8.3 mg sodium citrate dihydrate and Water for Injection, USP. Caffeine, a central nervous system stimulant, is an odorless white crystalline powder or granule, with a bitter taste. It is sparingly soluble in water and ethanol at room temperature. The chemical name of caffeine is 3,7-dihydro-1,3,7-trimethyl-1_H_-purine- 2,6-dione. In the presence of citric acid it forms caffeine citrate salt in solution. The structural formula and molecular weight of caffeine citrate follows. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY MECHANISM OF ACTION Caffeine is structurally related to other methylxanthines, theophylline, and theobromine. It is a bronchial smooth muscle relaxant, a CNS stimulant, a cardiac muscle stimulant, and a diuretic. Although the mechanism of action of caffeine in apnea of prematurity is not known, several mechanisms have been hypothesized. These include: (1) stimulation of the respiratory center, (2) increased minute ventilation, (3) decreased threshold to hypercapnia, (4) increased response to hypercapnia, (5) increased skeletal muscle tone, (6) decreased diaphragmatic fatigue, (7) increased metabolic rate, and (8) increased oxygen consumption. Most of these effects have been attributed to antagonism of adenosine receptors, both A and A subtypes, by caffeine, which has been demonstrated in receptor binding 1 2 assays and observed at concentrations approximating those achieved therapeutically. PHARMACOKINETICS _Absorption_ After oral administration of 10 mg caffeine base/kg to preterm neonates, the peak plasma level (C ) for caffeine ranged from 6 Lesen Sie das vollständige Dokument
