Both Theophylline and Caffeine citrate are commonly recommended medications for neonates who are suffering from Apnea. 
According to researcher BA Gannon, Apnea of prematurity is a common problem of premature infants under 30 weeks gestation. Theophylline and caffeine, two methylxanthines, are widely used to treat this condition. The drugs are regarded as equally effective in preventing apnea in premature infants. However, caffeine citrate has many advantages over theophylline, including once-a-day dosing, more predictable plasma concentrations, earlier onset of action, and minimal side effects. Caffeine is, therefore, the initial drug of choice for apnea of prematurity.
