Generic Name: Armodafinil
Brand Name: Artvigil
Strength: 250 mg

Description: Artvigil 250 mg is a formulation of Armodafinil, which is the R-enantiomer of Modafinil. It is prescribed to promote wakefulness in patients suffering from conditions that cause excessive daytime sleepiness. Armodafinil works by affecting certain neurotransmitters in the brain that regulate the sleep/wake cycle, thereby improving alertness and reducing the urge to sleep during the day.

Indications:

• Narcolepsy: A chronic neurological disorder characterized by uncontrollable episodes of daytime sleepiness, sudden loss of muscle tone (cataplexy), and in some cases, hallucinations.
• Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): A condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep due to obstruction in the airway, leading to fragmented sleep and daytime drowsiness.
• Shift Work Sleep Disorder: A condition experienced by individuals who work non-traditional hours, leading to disruptions in the normal sleep/wake cycle and resulting in excessive sleepiness during work hours.

Dosage and Administration:

• The typical recommended dose for adults is 150 mg to 250 mg taken once daily in the morning.
• It is usually taken with or without food.
• Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on individual response and tolerance, and should be prescribed by a healthcare provider.

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

Precautions:

• Inform your doctor about any history of heart problems, high blood pressure, liver or kidney disease before starting Armodafinil.
• Avoid alcohol and limit caffeine intake while taking this medication.
• Armodafinil may interact with certain medications, so it’s important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.

Storage: Store Artvigil 250 mg at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep it out of reach of children.
