Product Description
Modafresh 200 is an oral prescription medication manufactured by Sunrise Remedies. Each tablet contains 200mg of Modafinil, a central nervous system stimulant classified as a eugeroic (wakefulness promoter). Unlike traditional amphetamine-based stimulants, Modafresh 200 works selectively on the brain’s sleep-wake regulation centers. It targets specific neurotransmitters—primarily blocking the reuptake of dopamine—to increase focus, alertness, and vigilance while avoiding the intense jitters or sharp energy crashes often associated with older generation stimulants. It is widely utilized to restore stable sleep cycles and manage severe sleep disruption.
Key Benefits
- Enhanced Wakefulness: Effectively counters severe, uncontrollable daytime drowsiness caused by sleep disorders.
- Sharp Focus & Vigilance: Optimizes neurotransmitter activity to support cognitive stamina, attention spans, and overall mental performance during waking hours.
- Regulated Sleep-Wake Patterns: Assists individuals, particularly shift workers, in adjusting and maintaining an organized sleeping schedule.
- Clean Stimulant Profile: Promotes alert states with a lower risk of peripheral side effects like severe jitters, rapid heart rate, or immediate dependency compared to classic amphetamines.

Important Precautions
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Modafinil can reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives. It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to potential fetal risks.
- Pre-existing Conditions: Use with extreme caution and proper medical clearance if you have a history of cardiovascular events, high blood pressure, severe liver or kidney dysfunction, or psychiatric disorders.
- Substance Interactions: Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Modafresh 200, as it can dangerously alter the medication’s stimulant effects.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Modafresh 200 used for?
A: Modafresh 200 is primarily prescribed to treat excessive daytime sleepiness caused by chronic sleep conditions, including narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, and shift work sleep disorder.
Q: How long does a single dose of Modafresh 200 last?
A: Modafresh 200 generally begins working within 30 to 60 minutes, reaching peak concentration in the body around 2 hours after ingestion. Its wakefulness-promoting effects typically last between 11 to 15 hours.
Q: Can I take Modafresh 200 every day?
A: It should only be taken daily if explicitly prescribed by your healthcare provider. Prolonged or unmonitored daily use can elevate the risk of tolerance, dependency, or alterations in baseline sleep architecture.
Q: Does Modafresh 200 affect hormonal birth control?
A: Yes. Modafinil induces certain liver enzymes that accelerate the breakdown of hormonal contraceptives (pills, patches, implants), making them less effective. An alternative or barrier method of birth control is recommended during treatment and for one month after stopping.
Q: Is Modafresh 200 considered an addictive drug?
A: While Modafresh 200 has a significantly lower risk of abuse and dependency than traditional amphetamines, it still carries some potential for misuse, particularly in individuals with a history of substance or alcohol abuse.
Q: What should I do if I miss a scheduled dose?
A: Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if you do not remember until late in the afternoon or evening, skip the missed dose entirely to avoid severe nighttime insomnia. Never double the dose to catch up.
Q: Can I drive or operate machinery after taking this medication?
A: Modafresh 200 can cause dizziness or blurred vision in some individuals. Furthermore, it may not completely eliminate severe sleepiness. You should avoid driving or operating dangerous machinery until you know exactly how the medication affects your alertness.
Q: Should I look out for any specific skin side effects?
A: Yes. Though rare, Modafinil has been linked to severe, life-threatening skin rashes like Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. If you notice a new skin rash, hives, blistering, or accompanying fever, stop taking the medication and consult a doctor immediately.
