Provigil Sleep Drug Warning
1 Comment Published by Brian Yalung October 26th, 2007 in How to sleep better, Insomnia, Narcolepsy, SLEEP News, Sleep Disorders, Sleeping Pills.
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.

On Sedatives and Sleeping Pills

At times, the best cure for people who are sick would be to get some sleep and rest. Along the way, we are prescribed with various forms of medicine and pills to assist us. Most of the time, the said pills will get us groggy and sleepy, technically categorizing them as sleeping pills with some components to address the illness we are complaining about.
While they are not really tagged as sleeping pills, it would be best to take note of the limitations. They are prescribed to help combat off illness and not serve as sleeping aids for us. Some people have used them at times to address sleeping problems which should not be the case.
They may help make people sleep at times and side effects should be considered. If people are not careful, these may be more controversial than just addressing the sleeping problem they have at the moment.
