What is Modafinil? Modafinil is a medication that promotes wakefulness and is primarily used to treat excessive sleepiness associated with conditions such as narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and shift work sleep disorder (SWD). It is classified as a central nervous system stimulant.
Dosage Information The typical dosage for adults taking modafinil for narcolepsy or OSA is 200 mg taken orally once a day in the morning. For those using it to manage shift work sleep disorder, the recommended dose is also 200 mg taken approximately one hour before the start of their work shift.
Administration Guidelines
- Modafinil can be taken with or without food.
- It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not exceed it, as higher doses do not necessarily provide additional benefits and may increase the risk of side effects.
- If a dose is missed, it should be skipped if close to bedtime; do not take extra medicine to compensate for a missed dose
