Description
Generic Name: Modafinil
Brand Name: JUVMOD 200 MG (if applicable)
Description: JUVMOD 200 MG tablets contain 200 milligrams of Modafinil, a medication known for its wakefulness-promoting effects. Modafinil is used to treat conditions characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, such as narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder, and obstructive sleep apnea.
Uses:
- Narcolepsy: Modafinil helps improve wakefulness in individuals with narcolepsy, a chronic neurological disorder that causes excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden attacks of sleep.
- Shift Work Sleep Disorder: It assists in managing sleepiness in individuals who work irregular hours or night shifts by promoting wakefulness during their waking hours.
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Modafinil may be used in combination with other treatments to reduce excessive daytime sleepiness in patients with obstructive sleep apnea who may still experience sleepiness despite adequate nighttime treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
Mode of Action: The exact mechanism of action of Modafinil is not fully understood, but it is believed to work by affecting certain neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly dopamine and norepinephrine. These effects help promote wakefulness and reduce the tendency to fall asleep during daytime hours.
Dosage: The typical dosage for JUVMOD 200 MG (Modafinil) is one tablet taken orally once daily, usually in the morning. Dosage may vary based on individual response and the specific condition being treated. It’s important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
