Modafinil Buy Overnight |
Modafinil (Brand name: Provigil) is a wakefulness-promoting prescription drug that reduces the extreme sleepiness that accompanies sleep disorders including narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, and shift work disorder (SWD). It is sometimes used off-label to treat symptoms of ADHD in adults 18 years of age and older. This use is not approved by the FDA, but some research has shown improvement in ADHD symptoms when compared to a placebo. According to the FDA, modafinil is a federally controlled substance (C-IV) because it can be abused or lead to dependence. The safety and effectiveness for children has not been established. |
Serious rash requiring hospitalization and discontinuation of treatment has been reported in association with the use of Modafinil.
In clinical trials of Modafinil, the incidence of rash resulting in discontinuation was approximately 0.8% (13 per 1,585) in pediatric patients (age <17 years); these rashes included 1 case of possible Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and 1 case of apparent multi-organ hypersensitivity reaction. Several of the cases were associated with fever and other abnormalities (e.g., vomiting, leukopenia). The median time to rash that resulted in discontinuation was 13 days. No such cases were observed among 380 pediatric patients who received placebo. Modafinil is not approved for use in pediatric patients for any indication [see Use in Specific Populations . |
Although benign rashes also occur with Modafinil, it is not possible to reliably predict which rashes will prove to be serious. Accordingly, Modafinil should be discontinued at the first sign of rash, unless the rash is clearly not drug-related. Discontinuation of treatment may not prevent a rash from becoming life-threatening or permanently disabling or disfiguring. |
