How does Modafinil work?
Modafinil seems to act on dopamine and modulate certain areas in the brain. It acts typically as a selective and weak dopamine reuptake inhibitor which indirectly activates the release of orexin neuropeptides and histamine from the lateral hypothalamus and tuberomammillary nucleus in the brain, respectively; all of which may contribute to a much-heightened arousal.
Ways of administering Modafinil
Modafinil is usually consumed in the form of oral tablets, having 100 and 200 mg strengths. It is also marketed as the (R)-enantiomer and armodafinil. Another prodrug of it is also available as adrafinil.
