Clinically proven to help individuals regain alertness, improve focus, and restore a productive, energized day when they need it most.

Do not use Provigil if you have:

Known heart (cardiovascular) disease
If you have a history of heart disease, consult your doctor before using Provigil. Certain activities or conditions may put extra strain on your heart.
Provigil is not indicated for use in women or children, and it is not approved to increase energy or focus beyond treating excessive daytime sleepiness.
How does Provigil work?
Alertness and focus start in the brain but depend on proper chemical signals to maintain wakefulness throughout the day.
Provigil works by stimulating certain areas of the brain that regulate wakefulness and attention. It helps enhance the release of neurotransmitters that promote alertness, reducing excessive sleepiness.
Provigil does not provide energy like a stimulant but helps the body respond naturally to the need for increased focus and wakefulness.
