What is Modafinil used for?

Modafinil is indicated for disorders that cause excessive daytime sleepiness and affect wakefulness pathways. - Narcolepsy: reduces daytime sleepiness and improves alertness. - Obstructive sleep apnea (in conjunction with primary therapy): lessens residual sleepiness. - Shift work disorder: helps maintain alertness during scheduled work hours.

What are the side effects of Modafinil?

Modafinil may cause a range of adverse reactions, from mild to serious.

Common Side Effects: - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Nausea: occasional gastrointestinal upset. - Insomnia: difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep. - Anxiety: feelings of nervousness or tension. - Dry mouth: reduced salivation. - Dizziness: light‑headed sensation.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe rash or Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. - Psychiatric symptoms such as hallucinations or mania. - Cardiovascular events including hypertension or arrhythmia. - Hepatic dysfunction: elevated liver enzymes. - Anaphylaxis: acute allergic reaction requiring emergency care.

What precautions apply to Modafinil?

What does Modafinil interact with?

Modafinil can interact with several medicines, requiring attention to avoid reduced efficacy or increased toxicity.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Oral contraceptives: may reduce hormonal efficacy, consider alternative contraception. - Caffeine or other stimulants: may enhance central nervous system stimulation. - Antidepressants (e.g., bupropion): monitor for heightened side effects. - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): observe INR for possible alteration.
