Modafinil - A anti-narcoleptic medication used to treat excessive sleepiness caused by sleep disorders such as:

• Narcolepsy
• Sleep apnoea.
• Sometimes used off-label to treat:
• Attention-deficit - hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
• Fatigue

Modafinal is an oral drug that is used for improving wakefulness in people with excessive sleepiness. The effect of modafinil is similar to caffeine. Both drugs (Modafinal & Caffeine) promote wakefulness by stimulating the brain. Thus, both drugs are considered stimulants.
