Modafinil Order Online Prescription
Modafinil decreases sleepiness caused by narcolepsy and other sleep disorders, such as periods of no breathing while sleeping (obstructive sleep apnea). It is also used to help you stay awake during the workday if your work schedule prevents you from having a regular sleep routine (shift work sleep disorder). This medication does not treat sleep disorders and may not completely eliminate your sleepiness. It is not a substitute for getting enough sleep. It should not be used to treat tiredness or to keep people from sleeping if they do not have a sleep disorder. It's unclear how this works to keep you awake. It is thought to work by influencing certain brain chemicals.

Indications and Usage for Modafinil
Modafinil tablets are indicated to improve wakefulness in adult patients with excessive sleepiness associated with narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), or shift work disorder (SWD).
Limitations of Use
In OSA, Modafinil tablets are indicated to treat excessive sleepiness and not as treatment for the underlying obstruction. If continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the treatment of choice for a patient, a maximal effort to treat with CPAP for an adequate period of time should be made prior to initiating and during treatment with Modafinil tablets for excessive sleepiness.
