How They Work

The figures below identify the amount of active substance in each listed product and the duration commonly reported in product information or published literature. They are comparison data, not instructions for use.

Recognised side effects include headache, nausea, dry mouth, reduced appetite and difficulty sleeping. Rare but serious reactions can include severe skin, allergic, psychiatric or cardiac symptoms. Stop use and seek urgent medical help for a serious reaction; consult the supplied leaflet for the complete list.

The Brands at a Glance

What to Compare

Find your situation, then check the labelled facts that matter for it. Which medicine is appropriate remains a decision for a doctor or pharmacist.

First-time user Active substance and strength The listed products come in 50 mg, 150 mg and 200 mg. Every product page names the compound and the labelled strength.
Shift worker / very long days Reported duration Roughly 10–12 hours for modafinil and 12–15 for armodafinil. That is a property of the medicine, not a schedule — and the time of day affects sleep.
Budget-conscious Manufacturer and price per pack Within a category the brands hold the same active substance at the same strength from different makers. They differ by manufacturer and price, not by how strong they are.
Sensitive to stimulation Recognised side effects Headache, nausea, dry mouth, reduced appetite and difficulty sleeping are among those reported. Raise any sensitivity with a doctor or pharmacist before use.
Still not sure Packaging, before a full pack The sample kit holds sealed single-tablet units from four brands, so manufacturer, active substance, strength and packaging can be compared side by side.
