Modafinil – Wakefulness-Promoting Medication

Modafinil is a prescription medicine used to manage excessive sleepiness caused by conditions such as narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnoea, or shift work sleep disorder. By promoting alertness, it helps patients stay awake during the day and reduce the impact of fatigue on daily activities.

How Does Modafinil Work?

Modafinil affects chemicals in the brain that control wakefulness, helping people feel more alert.

The body can develop a tolerance to Modafinil, which may lead to dependence if taken long-term. Stopping the medication suddenly can cause withdrawal symptoms. This is why Modafinil should only be used as prescribed, with regular reviews by a doctor to ensure it is still appropriate.
