Description
Sun Pharma manufactures Modalert 200mg, a prescription medicine. It’s most typically used to improve the body’s sleep/wake cycle and lessen or even eliminate daytime sleepiness. Modalert, on the other hand, is not classified as a stimulant, which typically contains amphetamines. Instead, it’s a eugeroic, a type of medication that promotes alertness and wakefulness in those who have trouble staying awake during the day.
How Modalert Works
Each Modalert 200 tablet contains 200mg of Modafinil, a chemical discovered by the French pharmaceutical company L. Lafon Ltd in the 1980s. Modafinil is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor that prevents the body from excreting dopamine that has not been absorbed.
Dopamine is a crucial molecule that allows the body and brain to connect. When dopamine levels are low, the body has a hard time deciding when it should be awake and sleep. Modafinil helps produce more substantial concentrations in the brain by eliminating unabsorbed dopamine.
