Modalert 200mg Tablet is used to treat extreme sleepiness in patients with certain sleeping disorders. It can also help in improving concentration and alertness in healthy people. It can be taken orally and should not be combined with other medicines.
Although the precise mechanism of MOD’s cognitive effects remains unclear, it is known that at clinically relevant doses MOD inhibits DA reuptake in the brain (Loland et al. 2012).
Narcolepsy
Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that disrupts sleep-wake cycles and causes severe daytime sleepiness. This can lead to impaired performance in school, work and social settings and heighten the risk of accidents and injuries.
It is thought that people with narcolepsy have low levels of hypocretin (hi-poe-KREE-tin), also called orexin, a chemical in the brain that controls alertness. This can cause the boundaries between wakefulness and REM (dream) sleep to become blurred. This makes it hard to stay awake and can cause people with narcolepsy to fall asleep more quickly, have less quality sleep at night, and experience muscle weakness or dream activity while they are awake.
Other symptoms can include memory loss, blurred vision, headaches, and dizziness. It can be difficult for others to understand and may affect relationships. Intense emotions like anger or joy can trigger cataplexy, a sudden loss of muscle control that can cause someone to collapse or shake uncontrollably. This can be very embarrassing and can cause people with narcolepsy anxiety or depression.

Obstructive sleep apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is an extremely common condition. It occurs when throat muscles relax and narrow the airway, causing breathing to stop for short periods, often several times per night. This results in poor quality sleep and daytime fatigue. OSAS is more common in men than women and is often worse in older adults.
Other symptoms include snoring, feeling breathless when exercising or taking certain medications or alcohol before bed. Obesity greatly increases the risk of developing obstructive sleep apnea, as fat deposits can narrow the airway. Other risk factors include a large overbite, enlarged tonsils or adenoids and birth defects such as Down syndrome or Pierre-Robin syndrome.
To diagnose obstructive sleep apnea, we may perform an overnight sleep study in a laboratory or a home sleep apnea test that measures your breathing and oxygen levels during sleep. We may also recommend jaw surgery, called maxillomandibular advancement, which repositions the upper and lower parts of the mouth and throat to open the airway.
Shift work sleep disorder
Shift work sleep disorder affects people who must work outside the typical 9-to-5 schedule, such as health care workers or police officers. This type of work shift disrupts your body's natural circadian rhythm, which regulates your sleep-wake cycles. You may suffer from sleep problems such as difficulty falling asleep or waking up too early, which can lead to chronic fatigue and decreased alertness on the job.
While clinically significant sleep disorders are common in shift workers, help-seeking rates remain low. This has important public health and safety implications.
Shift work sleep disorder is also associated with a variety of other symptoms, including headaches, stomachaches and mood changes like irritability or depression. The condition can even lower your immune system, leaving you vulnerable to illness.
The best way to treat shift work sleep disorder is to maintain a regular sleep schedule and get enough light and exercise. You should avoid caffeine and alcohol within six hours of your bedtime and use ear plugs or white noise to block out external sounds while you're sleeping.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
ADHD is a chronic brain disorder that causes difficulty paying attention, staying organized and controlling one’s behavior. The symptoms may manifest in different ways in kids, teens and adults. Affected children often have trouble finishing homework, doing chores, or keeping track of things. Their behavior can become disruptive to their family and school life. They may also lose jobs or have trouble in social relationships.
ADHD should be diagnosed by a doctor with the help of rating scales and questionnaires that are designed for adults, as well as reviews of family history and school records. The symptoms must have been present before the age of 12, persist for at least six months and cause significant impairment in daily life activities.
Treatment options for ADHD include stimulant medications and psychotherapy. Stimulants work by increasing the levels of certain brain chemicals, such as dopamine and norepinephrine. Non-stimulant medication can also be used to improve focus and reduce impulsiveness and restlessness in kids and adults with ADHD.
