There were two serious adverse events of mania in the placebo group but none in the NUVIGIL group. Other adverse events that occurred more frequently in the NUVIGIL versus the placebo group included restlessness and anxiety.

Cephalon is preparing to launch NUVIGIL, the longer-lasting isomer of modafinil, in the third quarter of 2009. NUVIGIL is indicated to improve wakefulness in patients with excessive sleepiness associated with treated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), shift work sleep disorder, also known as shift work disorder (SWD), and narcolepsy. NUVIGIL is not approved for the treatment of bipolar disorders, depression or their associated symptoms.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved prescribing information for NUVIGIL, including a bolded warning, is available at www.NUVIGIL.com.
