• Shift Work Sleep Disorder: A condition affecting individuals who work non-traditional hours, causing disruptions in their sleep patterns and difficulty staying awake and alert during working hours.

Dosage and Administration:

• The typical recommended dose for adults is Armodafinil 150 mg taken once daily in the morning.
• It can be taken with or without food.
• Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on individual response and tolerability, as determined by a healthcare provider.

Side Effects: Common side effects of Armodafinil 150 mg may include headache, nausea, nervousness, dizziness, and difficulty sleeping (insomnia). These side effects are usually mild and temporary. Serious side effects such as severe allergic reactions, chest pain, or psychiatric symptoms like anxiety or agitation are rare but possible.

Precautions:

• Inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have, especially heart problems, high blood pressure, liver or kidney disease.
• Avoid alcohol and limit caffeine intake while taking Armodafinil.
