Doxapram (CAT: I006523) is a respiratory stimulant medication used primarily in clinical settings to stimulate breathing. It acts on the central nervous system to increase respiratory drive and respiratory muscle activity, making it useful in situations where there is a need to overcome respiratory depression or hypoventilation. Doxapram is commonly used in the management of respiratory conditions such as post-operative respiratory depression, drug-induced respiratory depression, and respiratory distress in newborns. It is typically administered intravenously or by inhalation. Doxapram works by stimulating the respiratory centers in the brain, leading to increased ventilation and improved oxygenation.
