Modafinil health-e-child.org is an analeptic used to combat drowsiness associated with narcolepsy (falling asleep unexpectedly and sleepiness). Modafinil is also FDA approved for shift work sleep disorder (SWSD) and obstructive sleep apnea sleep disorder. The European Medicines Agency, however, recommends limiting new prescriptions of drugs containing modafinil to cases of narcolepsy only, due to the risk of neuropsychiatric, skin and allergic side effects.
