Frequently asked questions

What is Modafinil Aurobindo used for?+
Modafinil Aurobindo is prescribed to improve wakefulness in adults with narcolepsy, to reduce residual daytime sleepiness in patients with obstructive sleep apnea who are using primary therapy, and to help individuals with shift work sleep disorder stay alert during scheduled work periods.
How does Modafinil work?+
Modafinil works by blocking the reuptake of dopamine, which raises dopamine levels in the brain. It also influences orexin neurons in the hypothalamus and modulates other neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine, serotonin, and histamine, leading to increased cortical activity and reduced propensity to fall asleep.
What is the usual dose of Modafinil Aurobindo?+
The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s condition, response, and tolerability. Clinicians typically start with a standard adult dose and may adjust it as needed, but exact dosing
