Here's a detailed explanation of Armodafinil 150 mg:
💊 What is Armodafinil 150 mg?Armodafinil is a wakefulness-promoting agent used to treat excessive sleepiness due to certain sleep disorders. The 150 mg dose is one of the most commonly prescribed strengths and is typically taken once daily in the morning.
🔬 Drug Class:CNS Stimulant / Eugeroic
R-enantiomer of modafinil
Not classified as a traditional amphetamine, but has similar stimulant-like effects
While the exact mechanism isn't fully understood, armodafinil:
Enhances dopamine levels by inhibiting dopamine reuptake
Stimulates the central nervous system, promoting alertness and reducing fatigue
Affects other neurotransmitters like norepinephrine, serotonin, histamine, and orexin
Armodafinil is longer-acting and more potent than modafinil due to its pure R-enantiomer composition.
