Stay-Awake
What does the Stay-Awake category cover?
Stay-Awake is a treatment-goal category for medicines intended to promote wakefulness. Excessive sleepiness can have different causes, including sleep disorders, shift-work schedules, medicines and other health conditions, so an appropriate clinical assessment is important before considering treatment.
What should you consider before choosing a wakefulness-promoting medicine?
Wakefulness-promoting medicines are distinct from everyday stimulants such as caffeine and are generally used within a prescriber-led treatment plan. The reason for daytime sleepiness, other medicines, relevant health history and the intended treatment goal can all affect whether a particular option is suitable. A prescriber can advise on the appropriate approach for an individual situation.
Which option do we list in this category?
We list Modalert, containing modafinil, as oral tablets in 100 mg and 200 mg strengths. Pack quantities range from 30 to 360 tablets. Prices start from A$59.28, and the lowest listed price is A$0.96 per tablet for a 360-tablet pack of the 200 mg option, priced at A$346.56.
What applies in Australia?
In Australia, modafinil is a Schedule 4 prescription-only medicine and requires a prescription from an authorised prescriber. ARTG registration should be checked for the exact brand, strength and tablet presentation. These Australian regulatory points relate specifically to modafinil products and should not be treated as a blanket status for every medicine that may be used to support wakefulness.
