• Research has examined Modafinil’s effect on cognitive function (Battleday & Brem, 2015) exploring its potential as a cognitive enhancer.

• Modafinil is a prescription drug often known by its brand name Provigil.
• Always read the patient information leaflet for a complete list of possible side effects, interactions, and precautions.

How Does Modafinil Work?

Modafinil affects chemicals in the brain that control wakefulness, helping people feel more alert.

The body can develop a tolerance to Modafinil, which may lead to dependence if taken long-term. Stopping the medication suddenly can cause withdrawal symptoms. This is why Modafinil should only be used as prescribed, with regular reviews by a doctor to ensure it is still appropriate.
