Modafresh is a prescription medication specifically formulated to promote wakefulness in individuals experiencing excessive sleepiness due to narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, or shift work sleep disorder. As a non-amphetamine central nervous system stimulant, it offers a refined mechanism of action that targets key neurotransmitters involved in the sleep-wake cycle without the pronounced euphoric effects or high abuse potential associated with traditional stimulants. Its clinical profile is supported by extensive research, making it a cornerstone in the management of sleep-wake disorders for improved alertness and cognitive performance.
Features
- Active Ingredient: Modafinil 100mg or 200mg tablets
- Pharmacological Class: Wakefulness-promoting agent
- Mechanism: Selective activation of hypothalamic wakefulness centers; dopamine reuptake inhibition
- Onset of Action: Typically within 1–2 hours post-administration
- Duration of Effect: Sustained wakefulness for approximately 10–12 hours
- Formulation: Oral tablet, film-coated for ease of swallowing
- Bioavailability: High oral absorption, not significantly affected by food
- Half-life: Approximately 12–15 hours
- Metabolism: Hepatic, primarily via CYP3A4/5 enzymes
- Excretion: Renal (major) and fecal (minor)
Benefits
- Promotes sustained wakefulness without the jitteriness or crash associated with amphetamines
- Enhances cognitive function, including improved focus, memory retention, and executive function
- Reduces excessive daytime sleepiness, allowing for normalized daily activities and social engagement
- Supports shift workers in maintaining alertness during non-traditional hours, improving safety and productivity
- Low abuse potential compared to schedule II stimulants, offering a safer long-term profile
- Minimal impact on natural sleep architecture when used as directed, preserving restorative sleep cycles
Common use
Modafresh is indicated for the improvement of wakefulness in adult patients with excessive sleepiness associated with narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (as adjunct to primary airway therapy), and shift work sleep disorder (SWSD). In narcolepsy, it addresses cataplexy-adjuvant symptoms by reducing sudden sleep attacks. For OSA patients, it mitigates residual sleepiness despite adequate CPAP use. In shift work disorder, it helps realign circadian alertness during work hours. Off-label use may include adjunct management in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and fatigue associated with medical conditions like multiple sclerosis, though such use requires careful physician oversight.
Dosage and direction
The recommended dose for narcolepsy or OSA is 200mg taken orally once daily in the morning. For shift work sleep disorder, take 200mg approximately 1 hour prior to the start of the work shift. Dosing may be initiated at 100mg for patients who are elderly, hepatically impaired, or sensitive to stimulants. Tablets should be swallowed whole with water; do not crush or chew. Administration with or without food is acceptable, though high-fat meals may delay absorption. Dosage should not exceed 400mg per day. Consistent daily timing is advised to maintain stable plasma concentrations.
Precautions
Patients should undergo cardiovascular evaluation before initiation, as modafinil may increase heart rate and blood pressure. Use with caution in those with a history of psychosis, depression, or mania, as it may exacerbate underlying symptoms. Hepatic impairment necessitates dose reduction and monitoring. Avoid alcohol and other CNS depressants during treatment. Patients should be cautioned about operating machinery or driving until they know how Modafresh affects them. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is recommended during therapy. Pregnancy and breastfeeding require careful risk-benefit assessment—use only if potential benefit justifies potential risk.
Contraindications
Modafresh is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to modafinil or armodafinil. It should not be used in those with symptomatic cardiovascular disease, including left ventricular hypertrophy, mitral valve prolapse, or recent myocardial infarction. Contraindicated in patients with a history of psychosis or severe anxiety disorders. Not recommended in individuals with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C). Concomitant use with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) is contraindicated due to risk of hypertensive crisis.
Possible side effect
Common side effects (≥1%) include headache, nausea, nervousness, anxiety, insomnia, dizziness, and dry mouth. Less frequently, palpitations, tachycardia, hypertension, diarrhea, or blurred vision may occur. Rare but serious side effects include Stevens-Johnson syndrome, angioedema, multiorgan hypersensitivity reactions, and psychiatric symptoms such as aggression or hallucinations. Most side effects are dose-dependent and often transient. Patients should report persistent or severe reactions to their healthcare provider promptly.
Drug interaction
Modafresh induces CYP3A4 and may reduce efficacy of CYP3A4 substrates like oral contraceptives (alternative non-hormonal contraception advised), cyclosporine, midazolam, and certain statins. It may inhibit CYP2C19, increasing levels of drugs like diazepam, phenytoin, or omeprazole. Concurrent use with other CNS stimulants or sympathomimetics may exacerbate cardiovascular effects. MAOIs are contraindicated. Caution with warfarin (monitor INR) and drugs metabolized by CYP2C9. Interactions with antiepileptics or antidepressants may require dose adjustments.
Missed dose
If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered unless it is close to the next scheduled dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one. For shift work sleep disorder, if missed pre-shift, take as soon as possible unless fewer than 4 hours remain in the shift. Consistency in dosing is important to maintain therapeutic effect; use alarms or reminders if needed.
Overdose
Symptoms of overdose may include insomnia, agitation, confusion, tachycardia, hypertension, nausea, or tremor. In severe cases, hallucinations or arrhythmias could occur. There is no specific antidote; management is symptomatic and supportive. Gastric lavage or activated charcoal may be considered if ingestion was recent. Cardiovascular and psychiatric monitoring is essential. Contact a poison control center or seek emergency medical attention immediately.
Storage
Store at room temperature (20–25°C or 68–77°F) in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep in the original container with the lid tightly closed. Do not store in bathrooms or near sinks. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not use beyond the expiration date printed on the packaging.

Reviews
Clinical studies demonstrate significant improvement in maintenance of wakefulness test scores compared to placebo. Patients report enhanced alertness and quality of life, though individual tolerance varies. In long-term observational studies, Modafresh maintains efficacy with a favorable safety profile over 12+ months. Some users note mild initial side effects that often subside with continued use. Adherence to prescribed dosing is critical for optimal outcomes.
