Does Artvigil increase blood flow to the brain? - ameliamartin - 08-04-2025
The main purpose of the armodafinil brand Artvigil 150 is to encourage wakefulness in people with narcolepsy and shift work sleep disorder. Some research indicates that armodafinil may indirectly improve cerebral function by enhancing alertness, focus, and cognitive ability, even though it is not particularly made to boost blood flow to the brain. Rather than a direct increase in blood flow, these effects might be attributed to enhanced neurotransmitter activity. The primary way that Artvigil 150 functions is by affecting dopamine and other neurochemicals.
