What is Inomax (inhalation gas)?

INOmax is a gas that is inhaled. It works by relaxing smooth muscle to widen (dilate) blood vessels, especially in the lungs.

INOmax is used together with a breathing machine (ventilator) to treat respiratory failure in premature babies.

Your baby will receive this medication in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or similar hospital setting.

INOmax may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

To best participate in the care of your baby during treatment with INOmax, carefully follow all instructions provided by your baby's caregivers.

How should I use Inomax (inhalation gas)

INOmax is inhaled into the baby's lungs through the mouth or nose.

Your baby may also be using a breathing tube connected to a ventilator (a machine that moves air in and out of the lungs to help your baby breathe easier and get enough oxygen).

INOmax is usually given for up to 14 days. You baby may need to be weaned off this medication slowly, using less and less before treatment is stopped completely.

Your baby's breathing, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and other vital signs will be watched closely during treatment with INOmax. This will help your doctor determine how long to continue treatment with this medicine. Your child may also need blood tests.
