Curosurf 120mg Injection is given under the supervision of a healthcare professional in the hospital setting. Your doctor will decide how much you need to improve your symptoms Infants are continuously monitored to avoid any medical emergency.
Pneumothorax (accumulation of air or gas in the chest or pleural space), brain hemorrhage, chronic lung disease, decreased oxygen level in the blood, and infection are some serious side effects of this medicine. Your doctor will be the best person to decide how to overcome the side effects.
Poractant alfa reduces the surface tension at the air-liquid interface on alveolar surfaces during ventilation and stabilizes the alveoli against collapse at resting transpulmonary pressures. This leads to an improvement in lung compliance and respiratory gas exchange.
Poractant alfa lowers minimum surface tension to less than or equal to 4 mN/m. This compensates for the lack of endogenous surfactant and restores adequate surface activity to the lungs. Poractant alfa is administered directly to the site of action in the lungs via endotracheal tube
Pneumothorax
Brain hemorrhage
Chronic lung disease
Hypoxia (decreased oxygen level in blood)
Infection
However, poractant alfa should be used with caution in patients with a history of porcine protein hypersensitivity. During surfactant administration, transient episodes of bradycardia, hypotension, endotracheal tube blockage, and decreased oxygen saturation have been reported.

Q. What is Curosurf 120mg Injection?
Curosurf 120mg Injection is a natural lung surfactant that lubricates the linings of the air spaces in lungs and prevents them from sticking together. It is effective in babies who have difficulty in breathing due to lack of enough surfactant in their lungs.
