Armod Tablet is used in the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness (narcolepsy). It improves wakefulness and helps you to stay awake and reduces the tendency to fall asleep during the day, thus restoring the normal sleep cycle. Armod Tablet may be taken with or without food. It is advised to take this medicine at a fixed time each day to maintain a consistent level in the blood. If you miss any doses, take it as soon as you remember. Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. This medication mustn’t be stopped suddenly as it may worsen your symptoms.

Armod is a prescription medication specifically formulated to promote wakefulness in adults experiencing excessive sleepiness due to diagnosed shift work sleep disorder (SWSD). It contains the active ingredient armodafinil, the R-enantiomer of modafinil, offering a refined pharmacological profile for enhanced alertness during non-traditional work hours. By targeting key neural pathways involved in sleep regulation, Armod helps restore functional wakefulness, enabling improved occupational performance and safety. This medication is intended as an adjunct to—not a replacement for—behavioral sleep interventions and should be used under strict medical supervision.

Features

• Active ingredient: Armodafinil (150 mg or 250 mg tablets)
• Mechanism: Selective activation of wake-promoting centers in the hypothalamus
• Onset of action: Approximately 1–2 hours post-administration
• Duration of effect: Sustained wakefulness for up to 12–14 hours
• Formulation: Oral tablet, film-coated for ease of swallowing
• Bioavailability: High and consistent, with minimal food interaction
• Half-life: Approximately 15 hours, supporting once-daily dosing

Benefits

• Promotes extended periods of wakefulness during night shifts or irregular work schedules
• Reduces subjective sleepiness and improves cognitive performance, including attention and memory
• Helps maintain occupational safety and productivity by mitigating fatigue-related errors
• Supports better alignment of alertness with work demands without causing euphoria or significant withdrawal
• May improve overall quality of life for individuals with chronic sleep-wake cycle disruptions
• Non-amphetamine mechanism lowers potential for abuse compared to traditional stimulants

Common use

Armod is indicated for the improvement of wakefulness in adult patients with excessive sleepiness associated with shift work sleep disorder. It is commonly prescribed for night-shift workers, emergency personnel, healthcare providers, and others whose employment requires sustained attention during biologically atypical waking hours. It is not approved for use in obstructive sleep apnea or narcolepsy without thorough clinical evaluation and alternative or adjunct treatment plans.

Dosage and direction

The recommended dose of Armod is 150 mg taken orally once daily, approximately one hour before the start of the work shift. Tablets should be swallowed whole with water and may be taken with or without food, though consistent timing is advised. Dosage may be adjusted based on clinical response and tolerability, not to exceed 250 mg daily. Patients with severe hepatic impairment should receive a reduced dose. Use in pediatric populations is not recommended.

Precautions

• Armod may cause dizziness or impaired alertness; patients should avoid driving or operating machinery until they understand how the medication affects them.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of psychosis, depression, or mania, as armodafinil may exacerbate underlying psychiatric conditions.
• Cardiovascular monitoring is advised in patients with pre-existing heart conditions, including hypertension and arrhythmia.
• Regular hepatic and renal function tests are recommended during long-term therapy.
• Patients should be advised that Armod is not a substitute for healthy sleep hygiene and behavioral strategies.

Contraindications

Armod is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to armodafinil, modafinil, or any component of the formulation. It should not be used in individuals with symptomatic cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or history of left ventricular hypertrophy. Concomitant use with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) is contraindicated. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding is not recommended unless potential benefits clearly justify potential risks.

Possible side effects

Common side effects (≥5% incidence) include headache, nausea, dizziness, insomnia, anxiety, and dry mouth. Less frequently, patients may experience palpitations, increased blood pressure, diarrhea, or reduced appetite. Rare but serious adverse effects include severe skin reactions (e.g., Stevens-Johnson syndrome), angioedema, multiorgan hypersensitivity, and psychiatric symptoms such as agitation, confusion, or hallucinations. Patients should report any unusual or persistent symptoms to their healthcare provider.

Drug interaction

Armod may interact with several drug classes:

• CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., carbamazepine, rifampin) may reduce armodafinil plasma concentrations.
• CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, erythromycin) may increase armodafinil exposure.
• Armodafinil may reduce the efficacy of hormonal contraceptives; alternative non-hormonal contraception is recommended.
• It may increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19 (e.g., diazepam, phenytoin).
• Use with warfarin may require more frequent INR monitoring due to potential interaction.

Missed dose

If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered unless it is too close to the next scheduled dose. Doubling the dose is not recommended. If a dose is skipped entirely, resume the regular dosing schedule the following day. Patients should avoid taking Armod late in the day to prevent interference with subsequent sleep.

Overdose

Symptoms of overdose may include insomnia, restlessness, agitation, confusion, tachycardia, hypertension, and gastrointestinal distress. In cases of suspected overdose, seek immediate medical attention. Treatment is primarily supportive; there is no specific antidote. Hemodialysis is not expected to significantly enhance elimination due to high protein binding.

Storage

Store Armod tablets at room temperature (20–25°C or 68–77°F) in a tightly closed container, away from light, moisture, and heat. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not use beyond the expiration date printed on the packaging.

Reviews

Clinical studies and post-marketing surveillance indicate that Armod is generally well-tolerated and effective in reducing excessive sleepiness in shift work disorder. Many patients report improved alertness, job performance, and overall functioning. Some note mild side effects such as headache or nervousness, which often subside with continued use. Long-term user experiences emphasize the importance of combining medication with sleep scheduling and environmental adjustments for optimal outcomes.
