DESCRIPTION
Modacare 400 mg is a modafinil based wakefulness-promoting medicine used under medical supervision for conditions linked to excessive daytime sleepiness. It may help adults stay awake and alert when sleepiness is affecting daily function. Modafinil is available in oral tablet form and is used for sleep-related disorders such as narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea and shift work sleep disorder
Mechanism of action
Modafinil blocks the reuptake of dopamine by the dopamine transporter (DAT), which increases dopamine levels in the brain and promotes wakefulness. It also interacts with neurotransmitters including orexin, histamine, norepinephrine and glutamate, it reduces GABA activity and also helps to maintain alertness and wakefulness. Its precise target is highly localized, focusing on the sleep-wake centers to boost alertness without triggering generalized hyperactivity.
