Modafinil 100mg Tablet (30 Tablets)
Modafinil 100mg tablets are used to promote wakefulness in adults with excessive sleepiness caused by narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, or shift work disorder.
What it is
Modafinil is a wakefulness-promoting medicine. It is not a stimulant in the same class as amphetamines, but it helps people with certain sleep disorders stay awake during the day.
What it's used for
Modafinil tablets are used to improve wakefulness in adults who have excessive sleepiness due to narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), or shift work disorder (SWD). For OSA, the medicine treats the sleepiness, not the underlying airway blockage. If you use a CPAP machine, it should be continued as prescribed.
Common side effects
Serious side effects can occur, including severe skin rash (Stevens-Johnson syndrome), allergic reactions (angioedema, anaphylaxis), multi-organ hypersensitivity, persistent sleepiness, psychiatric symptoms, and impaired ability to drive or use machinery. If you develop a rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing, stop taking modafinil and seek medical help immediately.
Important cautions
Do not take modafinil if you are allergic to modafinil or armodafinil. Stop the medicine at the first sign of a rash or allergic reaction. Modafinil may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all other medicines you take, as interactions can occur.
