Modvigil Modafinil Tablets, Purity : 99 % for Mood Alert

Modafinil 200 mg is a medication primarily used to treat excessive daytime sleepiness associated with certain sleep disorders. Here 's a description of the tablet and its common uses, mechanism, and side effects:

Description of the Tablet:Modafinil 200 mg tablets are typically white to off-white, capsule-shaped, and uncoated.They may have specific debossings (imprints) on them depending on the manufacturer (e.g., "4 " & "2 " separated by a score line on one side and "J " on the other side for some generic versions).

Uses:Modafinil is a wakefulness-promoting agent. It is approved to improve wakefulness in adults with:

• Narcolepsy: A chronic neurological condition characterized by overwhelming daytime sleepiness and sudden attacks of sleep.

   

   

• Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS): A sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, leading to excessive daytime sleepiness.Modafinil is used as an adjunct to other treatments like CPAP.

   
   
   

   

• Shift Work Sleep Disorder (SWSD): A sleep disorder affecting individuals who work non-traditional hours (e.g., night shifts), causing sleepiness during scheduled waking hours and difficulty sleeping during scheduled sleeping hours.

   

   

Modafinil is sometimes used off-label for other conditions like ADHD, cancer-related fatigue, and multiple sclerosis-related fatigue, but its benefits and risks for these uses are still being researched.It is also sometimes discussed as a "cognitive enhancer " in healthy individuals, though the precise benefits and risks for this purpose are uncertain.

Mechanism of Action:While the exact mechanism is not fully understood, Modafinil is thought to work by affecting certain natural substances (neurotransmitters) in the brain that regulate the sleep-wake cycle, attention, and cognitive function.It 's known to be a weak inhibitor of dopamine reuptake, which may contribute to its wakefulness-promoting effects.It may also increase signaling in the hypothalamic orexin and histamine pathways.

Dosage:For narcolepsy or OSAHS, the typical dose is 200 mg once a day in the morning.For shift work sleep disorder, it 's usually taken 200 mg approximately one hour before the start of the work shift.Doses up to 400 mg/day have been tolerated, but there 's no consistent evidence of additional benefit beyond 200 mg/day.Dosage adjustments may be necessary for individuals with severe liver impairment or those over 65 years of age.

Important Considerations and Warnings:

• Habit-forming potential: Modafinil can be habit-forming, and misuse can lead to serious side effects. It should be taken exactly as prescribed by a doctor.

   

   

• Not a substitute for sleep: Modafinil helps reduce sleepiness but does not cure the underlying sleep disorder or replace the need for adequate sleep.

   

   

• Skin reactions: Rare but serious skin reactions (like Stevens-Johnson Syndrome) have been reported. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop a rash, blistering, or peeling skin
