Armod 150 MG Description
Armod tablets is a prescription medication used for the treatment of excessive sleepiness. This condition can occur in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (frequent stopping and starting of breathi
ng during sleep), shift work sleep disorder (excessive sleepiness due to uncommon work schedules), and narcolepsy (extreme daytime sleepiness). Armod tablets contain a single active ingredient: Armodafinil. It is a central nervous system stimulant (wakefulness-promoting agent). This results in increasing the brain’s activity, which causes an increase in mental and physical processes. This medicine does have some side effects. But if the side effects get intense or persist for a long time, inform your doctor and seek medical treatment. Inform your doctor if you have a medical condition or are currently using any medications. Armod tablets can cause dependency issues, especially if there is a history of addiction to medicines or alcohol.
