Modvigil is one of the brand versions of the smart drug
Modafinil manufactured by an Indian pharmaceutical company called HAB
Pharmaceuticals. Doctors prescribe this drug for reducing excessive sleepiness
in people who have narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, and shift work sleep
disorder. It received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
in the year 1998 as a treatment for such sleep disorders.
Smart drugs must not be taken as a
replacement to proper sleep. If you are unable to get proper sleep at night and
feel sleepy while at work, you must try to bring changes to your lifestyle. Set
a fixed hour to sleep and wake up every day, make your diet healthier by
including fresh vegetables and keep yourself hydrated.
Note that Modvigil should be used only when it is
prescribed. You can order Modvigil online from pharmacies
that sell these drugs online.
