Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

The exact mechanism of it is not yet fully understood. But it appears that this medicine inhibits the reuptake of dopamine by binding to its receptors. Dopamine is a natural chemical messenger in the brain responsible for improving mood and ability to think. Increased activity of dopamine in certain areas of the brain can reduce sleepiness.
