Does anyone know provigil's mechanism of action? I've found two contradictory statments on the web:
1. Pharmacologic Action: alpha-1-adrenoceptor antagonist, dopamine reuptake inhibitor (neurotransmitter.net--future list of drugs...)
2. Modafanil does not appear to be a direct or indirect alpha-adrenergic agonist (modafanil.com)
Also: "(modafanil) has minimal effects on cardiovascular and hemodynamic parameters". Is this true? If so why caution in patients with cardiovascular conditions?
Thanks for any feedback.
