Provigil

Sleeping pills and drugs are obviously the immediate recourse that people are turning to when it comes to trying to solve their sleeping problems. However, while there are recommended sleeping drugs spread anywhere we are, the Food and Drugs Administration board will always be the best organization to refer to when it comes to checking the credibility of such.

Provigil has been found to be harmful rather than helpful for sleep deprived patients. Serious skin problems and psychiatric issues have been found to suffice.

A warning is being added to Cephalon Inc’s (CEPH.O: Quote, Profile, Research) drug Provigil for excessive sleepiness because of the risk of serious skin rash and psychiatric symptoms, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Wednesday.

Provigil is used to treat adults with narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnea who have difficulty staying awake. Provigil is one of Cephalon’s biggest-selling products with global sales of $415 million in the first half of 2007.
