What is INOmax?
INOmax (also known as inhaled nitric oxide) is a prescription inhaled drug that is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating Hypoxic Respiratory Failure (HRF) in newborns greater than 34 weeks gestational age (age measured from the beginning of the mother’s last menstrual period). HRF means that your newborn isn’t getting enough oxygen into his or her blood. Newborns with this form of breathing failure are unable to breathe on their own and have high pressure in the blood vessels of their lungs. High pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs is known as pulmonary hypertension.
Your baby should remain under the supervision of a healthcare provider during treatment with nitric oxide.
