NUVIGIL is an FDA-approved prescription medicine used to improve wakefulness in adults who experience excessive sleepiness due to shift work disorder, OSA, or narcolepsy. Important Safety Information What is NUVIGIL? NUVIGIL® (armodafinil) Tablets [C-IV] is a prescription medicine used to improve wakefulness in adults who experience excessive sleepiness due to one of the following diagnosed sleep disorders: obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), shift work disorder (SWD), or narcolepsy.
