Armodafinil (Nuvigil®) is an eugeroic drug produced by the pharmaceutical company Cephalon Inc., currently in the process of receiving Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. Armodafinil is the r-enantiomer of modafinil, so is expected to act in a similar manner, with similar effects. However, it acts for a longer duration of time than modafinil. Upon approval, it is expected to be classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance.
