| What is Curosurf used for?
Curosurf is used to treat or "rescue" premature
babies with Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS). Curosurf
reduces air trapped in the lining of the lungs (pneumothoraces)
associated with RDS.
Curosurf is an extract of a natural substance (pig
lung surfactant) necessary for effective breathing. Babies
with RDS are lacking in this substance.
General Precautions with Curosurf:
Treatment with Curosurf is not a substitute for
intensive care. Curosurf should only be given by health care
professionals experienced in treating premature babies with
RDS.
What are some possible side effects of Curosurf?
Curosurf is given to babies within several hours of
birth by medical professionals in a hospital who will monitor
the baby for any negative reactions.
For more detailed information about Curosurf, ask your
health care provider.
