DOPRAM (doxapram HCl)
Respiratory stimulants, historically referred to as analeptics, are a pharmacological class of agents that increase ventilatory drive and minute ventilation.
They primarily function by activating central respiratory control centers in the brainstem, stimulating peripheral chemoreceptors such as the carotid bodies, or antagonizing central adenosine receptors.
Members of this class, such as methylxanthines (e.g., caffeine citrate) and centrally acting agents like doxapram, are primarily utilized to manage apnea of prematurity, acute hypercapnic respiratory failure associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and postoperative drug-induced respiratory depression.
