DESCRIPTION
Armodacare 150 mg is an armodafinil tablet used to help promote wakefulness in adults with excessive daytime sleepiness linked to conditions such as narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea and shift work sleep disorder. It acts as a nootropic by improving the level of dopamine and other neurotransmitters. It is not a substitute for adequate sleep but when used as directed by a health care professional it may help you to function better during the day.
Mechanism of action
- Armodafinil binds to the dopamine transporter, blocking the reuptake of dopamine by neurons. Since there is a larger amount of dopamine in the brain synapses there is enhanced alertness and focus.Â
- Armodafinil 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
