DESCRIPTION
Artvigil 150 mg contains armodafinil an active ingredient that helps promote wakefulness and improve daytime alertness. It may be used for people who experience excessive daytime sleepiness due to certain sleep-related conditions. While it does not cure these disorders it can help people stay more awake and alert during the day when used as directed. Depending on the individual’s condition, a GP or other healthcare professional may recommend it for conditions such as narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea or shift work sleep disorder.
Mechanism of action
- Armodafinil binds to the dopamine transporter that blocks the reabsorption of dopamine by the neurons. Since there is a larger amount of dopamine in the brain synapses there is enhanced alertness and focus.Â
- Aromadinil targets the tuberomammillary nucleus (TMN) and some other regions that regulate the natural sleep-wake cycle.Â
- It also has secondary effects on neurotransmitters like serotonin, norepinephrine, histamine, orexin, etc.Â

- If you forget to take a dose take it when you remember unless it is already close to your next scheduled dose or bedtime. If that is the case, skip the missed dose and continue with your usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed one.

Interactions
Artvigil 150 mg may interact with certain prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, and hormonal contraceptives. Before starting treatment, tell your GP or pharmacist about all medicines, vitamins, herbal products and supplements you currently use.
Potentially important interactions include:
- Hormonal contraceptives – Armodafinil may decrease the effectiveness of some hormonal contraceptives. Talk with your GP about what type of birth control might be best for you while you are taking this medication and for how long after you stop the medication.
- Blood thinners – Medicines such as warfarin may require additional monitoring because their effects can be altered.
- Anti-seizure medicines – Armodafinil may interact with medicines such as phenytoin and you may need to have your dose of medicine changed or be monitored.
- Some antidepressants and antipsychotics – Armodafinil can affect the way some medicines work in the body so your GP may advise you to watch for side effects or change the dose.
- Sedatives and sleep medicines – Armodafinil may affect how medicines that make you sleepy or relaxed work.
- Armodafinil with other medicines – Some medicines used for fungal infections, HIV, tuberculosis or heart-rhythm problems may interact with armodafinil and may change its effects or increase the chance of side effects.

Precautions and Warnings
- Artvigil 150 mg should be used only when it has been prescribed for an appropriate medical condition. It is not intended to replace adequate sleep, improve performance for studying, or be used as a weight-loss medicine.
- People with obstructive sleep apnea should continue any prescribed treatment, such as CPAP, unless their sleep specialist advises otherwise. Armodafinil may help reduce residual daytime sleepiness in some patients, but it does not treat the underlying airway obstruction that occurs during sleep.
- Tell your GP if you have a history of heart or blood-pressure problems or have previously experienced significant psychiatric symptoms. Your healthcare professional may monitor your blood pressure, heart rate, mood and sleep pattern during treatment.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss the use of armodafinil with your healthcare professional before starting treatment. Armodafinil may reduce the effectiveness of certain hormonal contraceptives, so appropriate contraceptive planning should be discussed with your GP.
