Targeting certain neurotransmitters in the brain, Artvigil 150, which contains armodafinil, acts as a wakefulness-promoting drug to increase alertness and decrease excessive daytime drowsiness. Artvigil 150 improves wakefulness as a drug used to treat diseases including narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, and shift work sleep disorder without having the strong stimulant effects of other medications.

It works by affecting dopamine levels in the brain, which enhances alertness, attention, and cognitive performance. Artvigil 150 promotes longer intervals of alertness and sustained attention throughout the day by changing neurotransmitter activity.
