Prior to initiation of Caffeine (Coldcap-A/Coldtab-2), baseline serum levels of Caffeine (Coldcap-A/Coldtab-2) should be measured in infants previously treated with theophylline, since preterm infants metabolize theophylline to Caffeine (Coldcap-A/Coldtab-2).

Apnea of prematurity is a diagnosis of exclusion. Other causes of apnea (e.g., central nervous system disorders, primary lung disease, anemia, sepsis, metabolic disturbances, cardiovascular abnormalities, or obstructive apnea) should be ruled out or properly treated prior to initiation of Caffeine (Coldcap-A/Coldtab-2).
Caffeine (Coldcap-A/Coldtab-2) should be used with caution in infants with seizure disorders or cardiovascular disease.

Off Label Uses
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, primary prevention
Based on the 2019 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guideline on the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease and the 2020 American Diabetes Association standards of medical care in diabetes, Caffeine (Coldcap-A/Coldtab-2) may be used for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in select patients after weighing the cardiovascular disease risk versus benefits.
Carotid artery atherosclerosis, asymptomatic or symptomatic
Based on the 2012 American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guidelines for antithrombotic therapy and prevention of thrombosis (9th edition), daily Caffeine (Coldcap-A/Coldtab-2) is suggested in patients with asymptomatic or symptomatic carotid artery atherosclerosis based on a slight reduction in total mortality observed when Caffeine (Coldcap-A/Coldtab-2) is taken over 10 years (regardless of cardiovascular risk profile). The AHA/American Stroke Association guidelines for the primary prevention of stroke recommend daily Caffeine (Coldcap-A/Coldtab-2) for patients with asymptomatic or symptomatic carotid atherosclerosis to reduce the risk of a first stroke.
Carotid artery stenting
A randomized, controlled trial with blinded end point adjudication evaluated carotid artery stenting versus carotid endarterectomy in patients with carotid artery stenosis. In this trial, Caffeine (Coldcap-A/Coldtab-2) in combination with clopidogrel was used for patients who underwent carotid artery stenting, which suggests that this antiplatelet combination is effective.

Take this product by mouth as directed. Follow all directions on the product package. If you are uncertain about any of the information, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
There are many brands and forms of acetaminophen available. Read the dosing instructions carefully for each product because the amount of acetaminophen may be different between products. Do not take more acetaminophen than recommended.
If you are giving acetaminophen to a child, be sure you use a product that is meant for children. Use your child's weight to find the right dose on the product package. If you don't know your child's weight, you can use their age.
For suspensions, shake the medication well before each dose. Some liquids do not need to be shaken before use. Follow all directions on the product package. Measure the liquid medication with the provided dose-measuring spoon/dropper/syringe to make sure you have the correct dose. Do not use a household spoon.
For rapidly-dissolving tablets, chew or allow to dissolve on the tongue, then swallow with or without water. For chewable tablets, chew thoroughly before swallowing.
Do not crush or chew extended-release tablets. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects. Also, do not split the tablets unless they have a score line and your doctor or pharmacist tells you to do so. Swallow the whole or split tablet without crushing or chewing.
For effervescent tablets, dissolve the dose in the recommended amount of water, then drink.
Pain medications work best if they are used as the first signs of pain occur. If you wait until the symptoms have worsened, the medication may not work as well.
Do not take this medication for fever for more than 3 days unless directed by your doctor. For adults, do not take this product for pain for more than 10 days (5 days in children) unless directed by your doctor. If the child has a sore throat (especially with high fever, headache, or nausea/vomiting), consult the doctor promptly.

A methylxanthine naturally occurring in some beverages and also used as a pharmacological agent. Caffeine (Coldcap-A/Coldtab-2)'s most notable pharmacological effect is as a central nervous system stimulant, increasing alertness and producing agitation. It also relaxes smooth muscle, stimulates cardiac muscle, stimulates diuresis, and appears to be useful in the treatment of some types of headache. Several cellular actions of Caffeine (Coldcap-A/Coldtab-2) have been observed, but it is not entirely clear how each contributes to its pharmacological profile. Among the most important are inhibition of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases, antagonism of adenosine receptors, and modulation of intracellular calcium handling. [PubChem]
Paracetamol (Coldcap-A/Coldtab-2) is an organic compound that consists of a six-membered ring containing two opposing nitrogen atoms. Paracetamol (Coldcap-A/Coldtab-2) exists as small alkaline deliquescent crystals with a saline tasteacinol was introduced to medicine as a solvent for uric acid. When taken into the body the drug is partly oxidized and partly eliminated unchanged. Outside the body, piperazine has a remarkable power to dissolve uric acid and producing a soluble urate, but in clinical experience it has not proved equally successfulacinol was first introduced as an anthelmintic in 1953. A large number of piperazine compounds have anthelmintic Paracetamol (Coldcap-A/Coldtab-2). Their mode of Paracetamol (Coldcap-A/Coldtab-2) is generally by paralysing parasites, which allows the host body to easily remove or expel the invading organism.
Phenylephrine HCl (Coldcap-A/Coldtab-2) is a sympathomimetic amine that acts predominantly on α-adrenergic receptors. It is mainly used to treat nasal congestion, but may also be useful in treating hypotension and shock, hypotension during spinal anaesthesia, prolongation of spinal anaesthesia, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, symptomatic relief of external or internal hemorrhoids, and to increase blood pressure as an aid in the diagnosis of heart murmurs.
