Modafinil 200mg (100 x Tablets)

100 x Tablets – Product Description

Modafinil 200mg is a prescription medicine used to improve wakefulness in adults with excessive sleepiness associated with narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), or shift work disorder (SWD). Modafinil is a Schedule IV controlled substance in the United States and should be used only under the direction of a licensed healthcare professional.

Recommended Adult Dosages: For narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the recommended dose is 200mg once daily in the morning. For shift work disorder (SWD), the recommended dose is 200mg once daily approximately 1 hour before the start of the work shift. Doses up to 400mg per day have been studied, but U.S. prescribing information states there is no consistent evidence of additional benefit over 200mg per day. Dose adjustments may be required for some patients and should only be made by a licensed healthcare professional.

Important Use Information: Take modafinil exactly as prescribed by a licensed healthcare professional. Do not change the dose or timing without medical advice. Modafinil may be taken with or without food. Taking it too close to bedtime may make it harder to sleep. If more than the prescribed dose is taken, seek medical advice promptly.

Storage and Safety: Store modafinil at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) and keep it out of reach of children. Modafinil is a Schedule IV controlled substance in the United States and should not be given to anyone else.

What Is Modafinil 200mg?

Modafinil is a prescription wakefulness-promoting medicine used for excessive sleepiness associated with narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, and shift-work sleep disorder. It may help a person remain awake, but it does not cure an underlying sleep disorder or replace healthy sleep. People with obstructive sleep apnea should continue using any breathing device or other treatment recommended by their healthcare professional. Modafinil 200mg should be used only as directed after an appropriate medical assessment.

Important Information Before Use

Before using modafinil, tell a licensed healthcare professional about your complete medical history. This includes heart problems, high blood pressure, liver or kidney conditions, mental-health conditions, and any history of drug or alcohol misuse. Also disclose every prescription medicine, nonprescription medicine, vitamin, and supplement being taken because interactions can occur.

Modafinil can reduce the effectiveness of hormonal birth control during treatment and for a period after the medicine is stopped. Anyone who could become pregnant should discuss suitable contraception with a healthcare professional. Medical advice is also essential during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
