How does Modafil MD 100 mg work?

Modafil MD 100 mg consists of Modafinil. Modafinil primarily targets the neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).One of its main ways of affecting wakefulness is by affecting the level of dopamine. Modafinil inhibits the Dopamine transporter (DAT) that is responsible for the reuptake of dopamine from the synaptic cleft back into the presynaptic neuron. Due to blockage of DAT, modafinil increases the concentration of dopamine in the synaptic cleft which leads to enhanced stimulation of postsynaptic dopamine receptors. This dopaminergic increase is the main reason for wakefulness.
