Description

Generic Name: Armodafinil
Brand Name: Waklert
Strength: 150 mg
Manufacturer: Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.

Description: Waklert 150 mg is a wakefulness-promoting agent that belongs to the class of drugs known as eugeroics. It is the R-enantiomer of Modafinil, meaning it is the more active form of the drug. Armodafinil works by affecting certain neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine and norepinephrine, which play a role in regulating the sleep/wake cycle. It helps improve wakefulness and reduce excessive daytime sleepiness without causing a direct stimulant effect like traditional stimulant medications.

Indications:

• Narcolepsy: A chronic neurological disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy (sudden loss of muscle tone), sleep paralysis, and hallucinations upon falling asleep or waking up.
• Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): A sleep disorder where breathing stops and starts repeatedly during sleep due to upper airway obstruction, leading to fragmented sleep and daytime drowsiness.
• Shift Work Sleep Disorder: A condition affecting individuals who work non-traditional hours, disrupting their sleep patterns and causing difficulty staying awake and alert during working hours.

Dosage and Administration:

• The usual recommended dose for adults is Waklert 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 Waklert 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 Waklert.
• Be cautious of potential drug interactions and inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.

Storage: Store Waklert 150 mg tablets at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep them out of reach of children.
