Caffeine Citrate
A formulation of caffeine combined with citric acid, used medically to treat apnea of prematurity in newborns by stimulating respiratory drive. It is administered orally or intravenously in neonatal intensive care units and is considerably safer than other methylxanthines in this vulnerable population. Close monitoring of blood levels is required to optimize dosing.
