WHAT PEYONA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Peyona contains the active substance caffeine citrate, which is a
stimulant of the central nervous
system, belonging to a group of medicines called methylxanthines.
Peyona is used in the treatment of interrupted breathing in premature
babies (primary apnoea of
premature newborns).
These short periods when premature babies stop breathing are due to
the baby’s breathing centres not
being fully developed.
This medicine has been shown to reduce the number of episodes of
interrupted breathing in premature
newborns.
