Modvigil 200 mg is the trade name for the generic drug modafinil. Modafinil is a medicine used to treat a variety of sleep problems, including narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, and shift work sleep disorder. It is considered a wakefulness-promoting medication because of its intended use in helping patients maintain wakefulness and focus while awake.
When sleep is disrupted, Modafinil can help you stay awake and alert. It does what it's supposed to by influencing a set of neurotransmitters in charge of waking and sleeping. Although modafinil's exact mechanism of action is uncertain, it is known that it affects several different neurotransmitters.
