Modafinil, one of the most popular “smart drugs,” exists in various generic versions manufactured by various pharmaceutical companies. All of these brands have their pros & cons. Besides, there is no meaningful difference between them and the brand-name med Provigil®. Here are some facts concerning Provigil® and generic modafinil.

Provigil® vs. Generic Modafinil

According to Medicinenet.com, there isn’t a significant difference between any original med & its generic counterpart [1]. Generic modafinil meds are just copies of Provigil® and have the same dosage, strength, intended use, route of administration, safety, negative reactions, & risks. Overall, their pharmacological effects are also the same.

However, it doesn’t mean that Provigil® or any brand name med & its generics are 100% identical on all fronts [2]. Although the active ingredients of both drugs, branded and generic, are the same, the excipients (inactive ingredients) may certainly differ. This is only prime in rare scenarios when a user has allergic reactions or sensitivity to one of the excipients. Additionally, generic meds may also be slightly different in cost, color, shape, or markings.

Modafinil Generics: Major Differences

Because various versions of modafinil exist, it can be difficult to decide which brands are worth buying online. The fact is, much of the info currently known about these generic products such as Modavinil, Modawake, Modatec, etc., comes from various user testimonials & reports.

• Modavinil 200 mg: Manufactured by Centurion Laboratories, this med is the premier form of “smart drug” sold by most e-pharmacies. Many nootropic enthusiasts consider Modavinil to be a robust & pure source of modafinil that gives an insanely great boost in cognition and productivity for 10 to 12 hours;
• Modatec 200 mg: This is another powerful “smart drug” containing modafinil manufactured by Cipla Ltd. [3]. The maker is #4 on a list of the top 10 pharma companies in India [4]. This drug should be the ultimate choice for old-time nootropic users and those who are new to such meds. Without a doubt, it’s generally accepted by the nootropic community that Modatec 200 mg is nearly as good as Modavinil in terms of quality & potency.

Overall, generic meds differ with regards to their cost & availability. Also, there may be a slight difference in the level of effectiveness. After discussing various generic modafinil brands, we can conclude that the medication of choice depends on the user’s preferences. You can try out any version of modafinil because every product manufactured by a certified pharmaceutical company produces powerful effects and is as safe and effective as Provigil®.
