Modafinil: Uses, Dosage, Side Effects

MODAFINIL is a drug that is used in the treatment of excessive sleeping associated with some sleep disorders. This encompasses narcolepsy, sleep apnea and shift work sleep disorder. There might be other uses of this medicine; speak to the doctor or pharmacist when you are in doubt.

What Is Modafinil Used For?

The following are common usages of modafinil (Provigil).

Obstructive sleep apnea, which is a condition that occurs when you stop and resume your breathing during sleep due to the blockage of your airway.

Narcolepsy, a condition wheen your mind loses the ability to manage the sleep-awake system.

Shift work disorder, a condition that often affects people who work night shifts, early mornings, or changing schedules. It means they have a hard time sleeping when they’re supposed to, and feel very tired when they need to stay awake.

Modafinil Side Effects

You may not take modafinil in case you already experienced an allergic reaction or a skin rash whilst on a medicine with modafinil, Provigil, armodafinil, or Nuvigil before. Medications similar to modafinil have been associated with angioedema and hypersensitivity reactions (rash, dysphagia, airway narrowing, and hypersensitivity reactions involving multiple organs). Call emergency medical help and stop taking modafinil if you feel any allergic reaction including hives (itchy skin rash), difficulty breathing, or swelling of your face, lips, tongue or throat.

The most common side effects of modafinil are:

• Nausea or upset stomach
• Headache or dizziness
• Nervousness or anxiety
• Trouble sleeping (insomnia)
• Diarrhea
• Back pain
• Decreased appetite
• Nasal congestion or a stuffy nose

How Does Modafinil Work?

How Modafinil enhances sleep cycles to ameliorate obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy, or shift work disorder is unclear. It could entail imitating chemicals inside your brain that behave like adrenaline or boosting the activity of dopamine (another chemical in your brain).

Modafinil Dosage 

Modafinil comes in 100 mg and 200 mg oral pills. The normal dosing of modafinil is 200 mg per day. However, when you take it depends on what you are treating.

Modafinil isn’t advised to children. Research suggests modafinil might help with extreme sleepiness and is one of the few medicines recommended for treating narcolepsy in children. However, more studies are needed. If your child has narcolepsy and you’re considering modafinil, talk to their doctor to weigh the pros and cons.
