Modafinil for Narcolepsy

What is Modafinil used for?

    Modafinil is prescribed for a condition called narcolepsy. People with narcolepsy feel too tired or sleepy during the day and can not fall asleep without warning. Modafanil is used to increase the awakening and vigilance of the day in these people.

How does modafinil work?

Modafinil is a type of medication known as CNS stimulant. It works by stimulating activity in the central nervous system, that is, the brain and spinal cord.

The way in which Modafinil improves revival is not yet fully understood, but it is thought to affect different systems of cerebral neurotransmitters, especially in brain regions that sleep, wake up and alert.

The mode of action of Modafinil appears to be different from other CNS stimulants, such as amphetamine drugs sometimes used to promote vigilance. This difference is thought to reduce the potential of modafinil for abuse and dependence, although there is still a risk if Modafinil is used for a long time.

Modafinil does not cure narcolepsy, it treats only the drowsiness of the day.
How can I take Modafinil?

    The dose of modafinil your doctor prescribes varies from person to person. You will be asked to take a dose once a day, in the morning or twice a day, in the morning and in the afternoon. Always follow your doctor's instructions.
    Modafinine tablets should be thoroughly swallowed with a drink with water. They can also be taken with or without food.
    If you miss a dose, you should leave the missed dose and take your next dose at the usual time. Do not take a double dose to take a forgotten dose.
