Modafinil, a central nervous system stimulant, works by promoting wakefulness. Unlike traditional stimulants, it boasts a lower potential for abuse and poses a reduced risk of addiction. It achieves this by influencing neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine and norepinephrine, which help regulate sleep-wake cycles.
Modvigil 200mg tablets are often prescribed for conditions such as narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, and shift work sleep disorder.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
The typical Modafinil dosage is 200 mg once daily. But what time of day you should take it depends on what you’re treating.
Good to know: Modafinil isn’t approved for children, so we won’t cover modafinil dosages for children in this article. Although research shows it may be effective for excessive sleepiness, and it’s recommended as one of the only medications to treat narcolepsy in kids, more research is needed. If your child has narcolepsy and you’re wondering whether modafinil could work for them, discuss the risks versus benefits with their provider.
