  1. There have been a lot of talks all around about the pressure our brains endure each day. How is it possible to endure the pressure all day? Let alone the fact that we have to endure it daily. This puts a lot of pressure on our body in due time.
  2. How can we gear up for the tough ordeals for the future? A smart drug is definitely one solution.
  3. What are smart drugs? And how do they help us?
  4. Simply put, smart drugs are cognitive enhancers that help in the development of the brain and gearing the mind up for the challenges of the day. These drugs normally alter the level of hormones and neurotransmitters that eventually enhance brain activity.
  5. Armodafinil is one such smart drug.
  6. Armodafinil is the R-enantiomer of the well-known smart drug compound Modafinil. It is a cognitive enhancer along with being a wakefulness-promoting agent. We will look at the benefits and uses of Armodafinil in a while. First let us look at how the medication, Armodafinil works.
  7. As the upgraded form of Modafinil, it is expected that Armodafinil acts in a better way than Modafinil, with the same working mechanism as Modafinil. In the brain, dopamine functions as a neurotransmitter. It a chemical released by neurons (nerve cells) to send signals to other nerve cells. Often this Dopamine is the key factor in the wake-up cycle of a person. Armodafinil, much like its predecessor Modafinil inhibits the reuptake of Dopamine to the extent that it gets accumulated and can be used for waking up and elevated mood purposes by the body. Other chemicals like Histamine, Norepinephrine, and Serotonin are also increased. With increased hormones and the accumulated Dopamine, this drug helps us a lot in waking up and be active throughout the day without experiencing much fatigue.
  8. Let us look at the uses and side effects of Armodafinil:
  9. Uses
  10. • Armodafinil is basically a cognitive enhancer.
  11. • It also helps in treating sleeping disorders

  22. • There should be a habit where the person who uses Armodafinil or is about to use Armodafinil lets the medical professional so that the user gets a proper dosage and frequency of the med.
  23. • Never overdo the drug as it can cause a number of harmful effects to the body.
  24. • People who suffer from other ailments should actively avoid the drug.
  25. • Expecting or lactating mothers should not take this drug as the compound in the pill can harm the mother and the child.
  26. Armodafinil is indeed a very helpful drug. A big benefit of the drug is that for half the amount of the smart drug, Armodafinil is known to show the same level of effect. However proper care and precautions should be taken so that the person is not harmed and that the medication fulfills its purpose.
