Medical Description

Waklert 100mg Tablet is a medication that helps you stay awake during the day (narcolepsy). It improves wakefulness and helps you stay awake by minimising the tendency to fall asleep during the day and returning the sleep cycle to its natural form. The Waklert 100mg Tablet is suitable for use with or without food. It is recommended that you take this medication at the same time every day to maintain a stable blood level. Don't skip any doses and finish the entire treatment term even if you feel better. This drug should not be abruptly stopped because it may exacerbate your symptoms. Headache, nausea, and insomnia are some of the most prevalent side effects of Waklert 100mg Tablet. These adverse effects are only temporary and usually fade away on their own. Please consult your doctor if these symptoms do not go away or disturb you. It may also cause you to become dizzy or sleepy, so don't drive or do anything else that requires mental focus until you've seen how this medication affects you. Always remember that this medicine should only be used if a doctor has prescribed it, as it is not a substitute for a healthy sleep pattern. Every night, you should aim to get the recommended amount of sleep. If you have any problems with your kidneys, heart, liver, or have a history of seizures, tell your doctor before using the Waklert 100mg Tablet. Contact your doctor if you experience any odd changes in mood or behaviour, new or worsening depression, or suicidal thoughts.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Waklert 100mg Tablet contains armodafinil that inhibits the reuptake of dopamine by binding to the dopamine-reuptake pump, which leads to an increase in extracellular dopamine levels in some brain regions.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Isocarboxazid oral increases the effects of Waklert 100mg Tablet. There's an increased risk of high blood pressure (Acute Hypertensive Episode).
  • Hormonal birth control such as pills, patches, or rings, may be less effective while taking this medication and could result in a pregnancy.
  • Ingredients in certain items may cause your heart rate or blood pressure to rise. Tell your pharmacist about the medications you're taking and how to utilise them safely (especially cough-and-cold products or diet aids).
  • The metabolism of Abrocitinib can be decreased when combined with Armodafinil.
  • Combining Waklert may increase the blood levels of Citalopram and increase the risk of certain side effects, including an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious or life-threatening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

No. Armodafinil is a stimulant, not a narcotic. It has a very minimal chance of becoming a habit-forming drug. Please follow your doctor's directions for treatment dosage and duration. Do not take it for longer than the manufacturer recommends and do not stop using the medication abruptly.

The tablet is normally used for a period of up to 12 weeks. Pay attention to your doctor's directions. A continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine may be used in conjunction with armodafinil to manage sleepiness caused by obstructive sleep apnea.

When the medicine is administered on an empty stomach, peak plasma concentration is attained in around 2 hours. Within 7 days of the once-daily dose, steady state appears to be reached.
