Modafinil 100 mg / 200 mg tablets

Modafinil has an elimination half-life of roughly 15 hours, so a morning dose is often still active late in the evening. That is why the label puts narcolepsy doses in the morning and at midday, and asks you to avoid late-afternoon or evening doses — otherwise it can stop you sleeping at night. How long you personally notice an effect varies with your dose, your liver function and your age. Older adults clear it more slowly and are often started lower. If it wears off too early or lasts too long for your schedule, tell your prescriber rather than adjusting the timing yourself.

The label advises avoiding alcohol. The combination has not been studied properly, so no one can tell you a safe amount. The practical concern is that modafinil promotes wakefulness and can mask how intoxicated you actually feel, which makes it easy to drink more than you intended or to drive when you should not. Alcohol also worsens the sleep disruption that modafinil already causes. If you drink at all, discuss it with your prescriber or our pharmacist first, especially if you also take other medicines that act on the brain.

Modafinil is prescription-only in Canada but is not scheduled under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, so it is not handled as a narcotic there. In the United States it is a Schedule IV controlled substance. Either way, the Canadian product monograph still warns that modafinil has abuse potential and asks prescribers to watch for dose escalation and drug-seeking behaviour. Treat it as a medicine that needs a prescription and a prescriber who is following you, not something to share or stockpile.

Yes, this is one of the more important interactions. Modafinil induces the liver enzyme CYP3A4, which speeds up the breakdown of the hormones in combined pills, patches, rings, implants and some injections. The label tells patients to use an additional or alternative non-hormonal method of contraception while taking modafinil and for one month after the last dose, because the enzyme effect takes time to wear off. Tell your prescriber and our pharmacist if you use hormonal contraception so they can help you plan cover.

No. Modafinil is a prescription-only medicine, and we will not dispense it without a valid prescription from your licensed prescriber. That is not a formality: modafinil interacts with hormonal contraception and several other medicines, carries a rare but serious rash risk, and is not appropriate for some heart and psychiatric conditions. A licensed pharmacist reviews every order here, checks it against the rest of your medicine list, and will call you or your prescriber if something needs clarifying. Sites that offer to skip the prescription are not operating lawfully.

We dispense modafinil as 100 mg (10 tabs) and 200 mg (10 tabs). The current price for each pack is shown on this page and again in your cart before you pay, with no membership fee and no tiers. Stock may be branded or generic on any given day, depending on what is in supply; the active ingredient, the strength and the pack size are what the label says either way. What we dispense is set by your prescription rather than by what you select, so if the quantity on your prescription differs from the pack you picked, our pharmacist will contact you before anything is sent.

We dispense only where we are licensed to dispense. The checkout tells you whether we can ship to your address before you pay, and if we cannot, you will not be charged. Delivery timing depends on your address and on how quickly your prescription can be verified — if the pharmacist needs to contact your prescriber, that adds time. Nothing is shipped until the prescription is confirmed and reviewed. Our shipping page carries current timings and carriers.

We cannot tell you it is safe — that depends on you, and only your prescriber can judge it. What the label says is that effectiveness beyond about 9 weeks in narcolepsy and 12 weeks in sleep apnoea and shift work disorder has not been systematically studied, and that a prescriber who continues it for longer should re-assess you periodically. The main risks to watch for over time are the rare serious rash, psychiatric changes, and gradual dose escalation. Keep your review appointments and report any rash, mood change or chest symptoms straight away.
