Modvigil is utilized to manage excessive drowsiness associated with narcolepsy (a condition that leads to excessive daytime fatigue) or shift work sleep disorder (feeling sleepy during designated waking hours and having trouble falling asleep or remaining asleep during set sleeping hours, typically affecting those who work night shifts or have rotating schedules).
Modvigil is also employed alongside breathing devices or other treatments to mitigate excessive sleepiness linked to obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS; a sleep disorder characterized by brief interruptions in breathing or shallow breathing multiple times during sleep, resulting in insufficient restorative sleep). Modvigil belongs to a category of medications known as wakefulness-promoting agents. Its mechanism involves altering the levels of specific natural substances in the brain region responsible for sleep and wakefulness.
Modvigil influences various brain functions simultaneously to create its distinct and clean stimulating effect. Researchers believe it impacts Noradrenaline neurotransmitters, Glutamate, Histamine, and GABA. This leads to a natural feeling of alertness and wakefulness. Additional positive effects include heightened motivation, which can enhance mood slightly, boost productivity, and improve overall concentration on critical tasks.
Side effects may include blurred vision, indigestion, nausea, hair loss, headaches, and abdominal discomfort.
