Side Effects

The most common side effects of Armoda are serious rash, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, angioedema and anaphylaxis reactions, multi-organ hypersensitivity reactions, persistent sleepiness, psychiatric symptoms and some cardiovascular events.

Pregnancy & Lactation

There are no adequate and well controlled studies of Armodafinil in pregnant women. Armodafinil should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. It is not known whether Armodafinil or its metabolites are excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Armodafinil is administered to a nursing woman.

Precautions & Warnings

Patients should be cautioned about operating an automobile or other hazardous machinery until it is reasonably certain that Armoda therapy will not adversely affect their ability to engage in such activities. Caution should be taken in treating patients with a history of psychosis, depression or mania. Discontinuation of treatment should be considered if psychiatric symptoms develop. Increased monitoring of heart rate and blood pressure should be exercised. Caution should be exercised when prescribing Armoda to patients with known cardiovascular disease.

Description

Indications

Armoda is indicated to improve wakefulness in adult patients with-

  • Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
  • Narcolepsy
  • Shift work disorder (SWD)

  • Pharmacology

    Armodafinil is an indirect dopamine receptor agonist. This is the R-enantiomer of Modafinil which is a 1:1 mixture of the R- and S-enantiomers. Armodafinil binds to the dopamine transporter and inhibits dopamine reuptake. As a result, increases neuronal activity in the hypothalamus, enhances activity in hypothalamic wakefulness center (TMN, tuberomammillary nucleus) within the hypothalamic sleep wake switch.

    Dosage & Administration

    Adults:

    • Obstructive Sleep Apnea & Narcolepsy: 150 mg to 250 mg as a single dose in the morning.
    • Shift Work Disorder: 150 mg as a single dose approximately 1 hour prior to the start of work shift.

    Children: Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients less than 17 years of age have not been established.

    Elderly: In elderly patients, elimination of Armodafinil and its metabolites may be reduced as a consequence of aging. Therefore, consideration should be given to the use of lower doses and close monitoring in this population.

    Interaction

    The clearance of drugs that are substrates for CYP3A4 or CYP3A5 (e.g., steroidal contraceptives, Cyclosporine, Midazolam and Triazolam) may be increased by Armoda which results in lower systemic exposure. Dosage adjustment of these drugs should be considered when used concomitantly with Armoda.

    Elimination of drugs that are substrates for CYP2C19 (e.g., Phenytoin, Diazepam, Propranolol, Omeprazole and Clomipramine) may be prolonged by Armoda which results in higher systemic exposure. Dosage adjustment of these drugs should be considered when used concomitantly with Armoda.

    More frequent monitoring of prothrombin times/ International normalized ratio (INR) should be considered whenever Armoda is co-administered with Warfarin.

    Caution should be used when concomitantly administering MAO inhibitors and Armoda.

    Contraindications

    Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Armodafinil or any of theexcipients of this product

    Overdose Effects

Symptoms of Armoda overdose are likely to be similar to those of Modafinil which included excitation or agitation, insomnia and slight or moderate elevations in hemodynamic parameters. There is no specific antidote for Armoda overdose. However, if overdose occurs, it should be managed with primary supportive care.
