How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Modafinil). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

The mechanism(s) through which modafinil promotes wakefulness is unknown.

Modafinil has wake-promoting actions similar to sympathomimetic agents including amphetamine and methylphenidate, although the pharmacologic profile is not identical to that of the sympathomimetic amines.

How the body breaks it down

Metabolism and Elimination The major route of elimination is metabolism (approximately 90%), primarily by the liver, with subsequent renal elimination of the metabolites.

With food

Food has no effect on overall modafinil tablets bioavailability; however, time to reach peak concentration (t max ) may be delayed by approximately one hour if taken with food.
