Moodfine 100mg is a prescription medication designed to manage excessive sleepiness associated with sleep disorders such as narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and shift work sleep disorder. This wakefulness-promoting agent helps improve alertness and reduce daytime fatigue, making it easier for individuals to stay awake and focused during their desired hours.
Uses:
- Combats excessive daytime sleepiness in narcolepsy.
- Reduces sleepiness in Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) patients (often alongside CPAP).
- Improves alertness for those with Shift Work Sleep Disorder during their work shifts.
How It Works:
While its precise mechanism isn’t fully elucidated, Moodfine is believed to influence key neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, which are vital for regulating wakefulness and attention.
Dosage & Administration:
- Typically supplied in tablet form.
- Standard dose for narcolepsy/OSA: 200 mg once daily in the morning.
- For shift work: 200 mg taken approximately 1 hour prior to the work shift.
- Administered orally, can be taken with or without food.
Side Effects:
- Common: Headache, nausea, feelings of nervousness or anxiety, insomnia (if taken too late).
- Serious: Rare but severe skin reactions (e.g., Stevens-Johnson syndrome), cardiovascular effects (increased blood pressure/heart rate), psychiatric symptoms (hallucinations, aggression, mania).
Warnings & Precautions:
- Drug Interactions: Can affect or be affected by antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and oral contraceptives.
- Medical Conditions: Use cautiously if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, liver/kidney issues, or psychiatric disorders.
- Pregnancy: Use only if clearly needed; effects on fetus are not fully studied.
