Product Summary and Prescription Notice

Modalert 200 mg is a tablet containing modafinil 200 mg, a prescription wakefulness-promoting medicine. In the United States, modafinil is indicated for adults with excessive sleepiness associated with narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), or shift work disorder (SWD). For OSA, it treats residual sleepiness and does not treat the underlying airway obstruction.

Prescription Notice

Modalert or modafinil should be used only under the direction of a licensed healthcare professional. Modafinil is federally classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance because it has potential for misuse and dependence.

What Is Modalert 200 mg?

Modalert 200 mg contains modafinil, a central nervous system medicine that promotes wakefulness. Doctors may prescribe modafinil when a diagnosed sleep disorder causes clinically significant excessive daytime sleepiness.

Modafinil may help a person remain awake, but it does not cure narcolepsy, remove the need for sleep or correct the physical airway obstruction caused by OSA. Patients with OSA should continue treatment recommended for the underlying obstruction, such as CPAP, when prescribed.
