Modafinil 400mg (100 x Tablets)

Modafinil 400mg – 100-Tablet Product Information

Modafinil 400mg is a prescription-only wakefulness medicine supplied in a pack containing 100 tablets. Modafinil may be prescribed by a licensed healthcare professional to improve wakefulness in adults experiencing excessive sleepiness associated with narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, or shift work sleep disorder.

This product should only be used under professional medical supervision. A healthcare professional must determine whether modafinil is suitable for you and prescribe the appropriate dose based on your condition, medical history, current medicines, and individual response.

What Is Modafinil?

Modafinil is a wakefulness-promoting medicine that acts on areas of the brain involved in the sleep-wake cycle. It may help a person remain awake when excessive sleepiness is associated with an approved medical condition. It does not cure the underlying sleep disorder, and it should not replace healthy sleep habits or any other treatment recommended by a healthcare professional.

People being treated for obstructive sleep apnea should continue using their prescribed breathing device or other primary treatment unless their healthcare professional advises otherwise.

Modafinil 400mg Dosage Guidance

The strength and pack size shown on this page do not represent a recommended daily dose. U.S. prescribing guidance commonly describes 200 mg once daily for approved adult indications. Doses up to 400 mg per day have been studied, but prescribing information notes that higher doses have not consistently demonstrated additional benefit over 200 mg per day.

For narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnea, modafinil is generally taken in the morning. For shift work sleep disorder, it is generally taken before the beginning of the work shift. Always follow the exact directions provided by your prescriber. Do not increase the dose, take it more frequently, or continue treatment longer than directed.

Important Safety Information

Before using Modafinil 400mg, tell your healthcare professional about all medical conditions, allergies, and medicines you currently use. This includes prescription medicines, nonprescription products, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products.

Seek urgent medical attention if you experience a serious rash, blistering or peeling skin, swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or other signs of a severe allergic reaction. Stop taking modafinil and contact a healthcare professional promptly if instructed to do so.

Modafinil may affect alertness, judgment, or coordination in some people. Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform hazardous tasks until you know how the medicine affects you. Alcohol may worsen some side effects and should be discussed with your healthcare professional.

Tell your prescriber if you have a history of heart problems, high blood pressure, liver or kidney problems, mental health conditions, or substance misuse. Contact a healthcare professional if you experience significant mood or behavioral changes, unusual thoughts, hallucinations, severe anxiety, agitation, or depression.

Medicine Interactions and Contraception

Modafinil can interact with other medicines and may change how they work. It can also reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives during treatment and for a period after the final dose. Anyone using hormonal birth control should discuss an effective alternative or additional contraceptive method with a healthcare professional.

Do not start, stop, or change any medicine without professional advice. Your prescriber or pharmacist can assess possible interactions and explain which precautions apply to you.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Tell your healthcare professional if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding before using modafinil. Your healthcare professional must assess the potential benefits and risks and advise whether treatment is appropriate.
