Armod 150 MG Description

Armod Tablet is a prescription medicine used for the patient to stay awake in narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder and obstructive sleep apnea. Narcolepsy refers to a condition where a person sleeps

throughout the day, which can be disrupted. Shift work sleep disorder refers to the unusual work times that affect the sleep cycle. Obstructive sleep apnea is a disorder when a person's airways block when they fall asleep. Armod Tablet has Armodafinil as the primary ingredient. Armodafinil works by controlling certain chemicals in the brain that act as a stimulant and help the person stay awake. Armod Tablet can exhibit some side effects like headache, dizziness, nausea, difficulty in falling asleep and difficulty in concentrating. It should only be taken with a doctor’s recommendation. It is generally given for a longer duration and is taken once daily, mostly in the morning. For people with shift work disorder, it is taken one hour before the shift. Do not discontinue the medicine without consulting the doctor.
