Modacare MD 200 mg is likely a medication containing Modafinil, a well-known nootropic or “smart drug.” Modafinil is primarily used to treat excessive daytime sleepiness associated with sleep disorders such as:

1. Narcolepsy – A condition causing excessive daytime drowsiness and sudden sleep attacks.
2. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) – To promote wakefulness when residual sleepiness persists despite treatment of the underlying obstruction.
3. Shift Work Sleep Disorder (SWSD) – For individuals experiencing difficulty staying awake during work hours due to shift work.

What the “MD” Means

The “MD” typically refers to a mouth-dissolving (or disintegrating) formulation. This means the tablet dissolves in the mouth without needing water, making it convenient for people who may have difficulty swallowing.

About the 200 mg Dosage

A 200 mg dose is a common standard dose of Modafinil, often prescribed to provide enhanced alertness and cognitive performance. It’s generally taken once a day, either in the morning or an hour before a shift for SWSD.
