Modvigil 100 mg contains Modafinil. This pharmaceutical drug promotes wakefulness in adults with excessive sleepiness from conditions like narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, and shift work disorder. This works by affecting brain chemicals to keep sleep disorder patients alert.  Modafinil 100 mg enhances performance mainly on more complex as well as demanding cognitive tasks by delivering minimal effects on simpler tasks. Unlike traditional stimulants, this medicine has a lower potential for dependency. This makes it a preferred choice for many patients. 

MECHANISM OF ACTION 

Modvigil 100 mg blocks the dopamine transporter. Then, it increases the level of dopamine in your body. Then, this activates orexin-producing neurons and increases histamine release. It reduces transmission of GABA. As a result, it stops sleep-promiting signals. People do not feel sleepiness in the daytime. As a result, users can lead a normal life during the daytime. This helps you stay productive and active by reducing the frustration of constant fatigue.
