Artvigil 150 mg contains armodafinil, a prescription wakefulness-promoting medicine used to help manage excessive daytime sleepiness associated with certain sleep disorders. It may help people maintain wakefulness and improve alertness during periods when they need to remain awake. Armodafinil affects several chemical signaling systems in the brain involved in regulating wakefulness, although its precise mechanism is not completely understood. Artvigil may be prescribed for conditions such as narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, and shift work sleep disorder. The medicine should be taken only according to a healthcare professional's instructions, as the appropriate dose and timing can vary between individuals. Some users may experience side effects such as headache, nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, or difficulty sleeping. It is also important to tell your doctor about other medicines, supplements, and existing health conditions before using Artvigil. It should not be used as a substitute for adequate sleep, and persistent daytime sleepiness should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
