Administration of Modavigil

Modavigil dosage and administration.

Modavigil can be prescribed to people who got a complete examination of their excessive sleep, which was caused by such disorders as narcolepsy, sleep apnea and shift work disorder.  The evaluation should be made with the help of DSM or ICSD criteria. This medical check-up usually includes physical examination, complete history and laboratory testing. Some people have several sleep disorders at the same time. Sometimes it happens that a person suffers from SWSD and OSAHS simultaneously. Such patients require more supervision and attention from the doctor.

Narcolepsy.

If you faced with Narcolepsy it is recommended to take from 200mg to 400 mg of Generic Modavigil each day in the morning, or sometimes you can divide the dose and take it 2 times a day. It is suggested to swallow tablets whole, don’t chew them. Such high doses of 400mg were tolerated normally by the patients, but there is no concrete and evident information that this dose can lead to additional benefits in comparison with the dose of 200mg. Those patients, who need the dose more than 200 mg, shouldn’t exceed the norm of 400mg.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
