DESCRIPTION
Waklert 150 mg contains armodafinil a wake‑promoting medicine used to reduce excessive daytime sleepiness in adults with narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea (as residual sleepiness when primary therapy is used) and shift work sleep disorder. It is intended for use under medical supervision and is not a substitute for sleep or for treatment of the underlying cause of sleep disorders.
Mechanism of action
- Dopamine Transporter (DAT) Inhibition: Armodafinil is a weak but selective inhibitor of the dopamine transporter, which can reduce dopamine reuptake and thereby increase extracellular dopamine levels. This action may support improved alertness and concentration. Â
- Orexin activation: Armodafinil appears to enhance orexin (hypocretin) signalling in brain regions that promote wakefulness which helps maintain the sleep wake cycle. Â
- GABA regulation: It may reduce GABAergic (inhibitory) tone in certain brain areas, which can contribute to reduced sleep propensity and sustained wakefulness.
