About Provigil
Provigil is a brand name for the generic drug modafinil. Provigil is available by prescription only. This alertness-improving medication may be prescribed to treat patients who have been diagnosed with excessive sleepiness disorders such as narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).[2]
Modafinil may also be used with breathing devices or other treatments for patients with OSA. Common drug side effects include dizziness, headache, trouble sleeping, nervousness, back pain, nausea, diarrhea, reduced appetite, flushing, sweating, confusion, and upset stomach.[1] It works by changing or altering the levels of certain chemicals in the brain (neurotransmitters) that influence wakefulness and sleep. [1] This drug is considered to be a stimulant since it stimulates the brain to promote wakefulness.[3] Modafinil gained FDA approval in December, 1998.
Provigil (modafinil) is a federally controlled substance (C-IV) due to its potential for abuse and dependence. The medication should be kept in a safe place to prevent abuse or misuse.[2]
