As you scan around the room, you will probably find a number
of people yawning or maybe nodding. This has become a trend in today’s date as
the people hardly have any time for their health or well being of any kind. As
such we need some medium so that the brain can be active and awake all day.
The medium stated are Smart Drugs or Nootropic compounds. These
meds are basically cognitive enhancers that help in the gradual increased brain
activity. Modafinil is perhaps the most popular smart drug compound available
in the smart drug market today. In the 1970s the Modafinil smart drug compound
was used for the treatment of Narcolepsy, sleep apnea, etc in France. As time
passed however, the people looked at the other visible effects of the smart drug
Modafinil. There have been other effects of the smart drug as well, like mood
elevation, reduction of fatigue, etc.
As already known, the generic version of any medication
gives rise to many brand versions. Modafinil is no exception. There are the
following well known brand versions of Modafinil; Provigil, Modalert, and the
smart drug we will talk about today: Modvigil.
Modvigil is one of the brand versions of Modafinil. It is
manufactured by HAB Pharma, India. Much like its parent compound, Modafinil,
Modvigil is also approved by the FDA for the purpose of cognitive enhancement
and wakefulness purposes. Let us now see as to how Modafinil acts in the body.
Modafinil smart drug compound in the Modvigil
smart drug first stimulates the Orexin (or Hypocretin receptors) namely, OX1
and OX2 in the body. After this the compound now activates the Orexin peptide,
which makes the user feel his/ her first wave of wakefulness. Now the compound
acts on the neurotransmitter Dopamine. Dopamine is an important
neurotransmitter in the body that is produced in the Hypothalamus of the brain
and is responsible for the wakefulness, cognition, and the mood of the individual.
The reuptake of this neurotransmitter is inhibited that causes a pool of
Dopamine to be formed in the vicinity of the reuptake point. This excess of
Dopamine that is collected is used by the body for its uses during the day. Other
hormones like Norepinephrine, Histamine, Serotonin are also increased.
The functions of these increased hormones are:
- Norepinephrine: Promotes wakefulness and elevates heart rate
- Histamine: Regulates the sleep cycle
- Serotonin: Regulates mood, useful for memory, useful for creation of new neurons [Neurogenesis].
Let us now look at the basic uses of the smart drug
Modalert:
- It is a cognitive enhancer that helps us in increasing our brain activity by the increase of the hormones and neurotransmitters.
- It also helps the user in staying awake and active.
- Various sleeping disorders are also treated with this smart drug.
- The smart drug also helps in the reduction of depression and fatigue.
Modvigil
is one of the best known medications for the treatment of sleeping disorders,
cognitive enhancement, wakefulness, etc. As such proper precautions should be
maintained that can help in the proper growth of the user cognitively as well
as mentally.
