Modafinil dosage – an overview of dosage instructions
Modafinil is a medicine used to treat sleep disorders in people. This medicine actually stimulates the neurotransmitters in the brain and activates wakefulness. Modafinil is not prescribed for children. This article gives an overview of the importance of precise Modafinil dosage.
Modafinil is available in the form of oral pills. The usual Modafinil dosage for adults ranges between 200 to 400 milligrams per day and it is taken once a day. The time of the dosage changes according to the medical condition to be treated. While the dosage is usually taken in the morning to treat narcolepsy(a sleep disorder that causes excessive sleep) and OSAHS (a sleep disorder caused by breathing problems), it is taken at least an hour before night shifts by people who suffer from sleep disorders due to their work life style. The dosage can be taken before or after food.

Modafinil is an addictive drug so you should avoid prolonged usage of the drug. The usual Modafinil dosage given by doctors is for 12 weeks. Any dosage taken beyond this time length may lead to addiction to the drug.
