Caffeine citrate (trade name Cafcit) is a citrate salt of caffeine sometimes used in medical treatment including short-term treatment of apnea of prematurity (lack of breathing in premature infants). Caffeine citrate functions in much the same capacity as does caffeine but takes effect more quickly; its speed of dissociation is faster than that of caffeine. Like its sister compound it can be used to dispel pain from a headache.
