Active Ingredient: Modafinil
Modafinil is indicated in adults for the treatment of excessive sleepiness associated with narcolepsy with or without cataplexy.
Excessive sleepiness is defined as difficulty maintaining wakefulness and an increased likelihood of falling asleep in inappropriate situations.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
Oral
100 - 400 mg
From 100 To 400 mg once every day
Patient monitoring and clinical assessment of the need for treatment should be performed on a periodic basis.
There are limited data available on the use of modafinil in elderly patients. In view of the potential for lower clearance and increased systemic exposure, it is recommended that patients over 65 years of age commence therapy at 100 mg daily.
