MODALERT® (Modafinil)

MODALERT® (Modafinil, Provigil) is an analeptic drug, which is analogous to stimulants. It works by stimulating particular areas in the central nervous system that are responsible for respiration, such as medulla and spinal cord. It eliminates the disproportion of the brain neurotransmitters by preventing the back absorption of certain brain chemicals, which results in increased alertness. Modalert is used to treat excessive daytime sleepiness (narcolepsy) and shift work sleep disorder. Besides, it nourishes the brain nerve cells by increasing the blood and oxygen supply, thus enhancing memory and cognitive skills.

DESCRIPTION

Modalert is an analeptic stimulant medication. The active substance of Modalert is modafinil. The mechanism of action of modafinil has not been fully determined. But it has been found that modafinil increases the levels of neurotransmitters such as noradrenalin, dopamine, histamine, serotonin, glutamate, and GABA by influencing the receptors on the locus coeruleus, nucleus accumbens, and tuberomamillary nuclei in the posterior hypothalamus in the brain. The increase in these neurotransmitters provides a positive impact on treating narcolepsy and promoting wakefulness.
