Who manufactures modafinil, and where is it made?
Modafinil is manufactured by multiple companies in different countries, depending on the product strength, brand, and market. Commonly, manufacturers include global pharmaceutical firms that produce modafinil as an API (active ingredient) and/or as finished tablets for specific regions.
Is modafinil made in the US?
In the United States, modafinil products are distributed under branded and generic labels, and manufacturing is tied to the specific drug product approved for sale in the US (including the company listed on the prescription label and the FDA’s listing for that product). The ingredient itself may be sourced from an API supplier outside the US.
Is modafinil manufactured in India or other countries?
Yes. Modafinil is widely produced internationally, including in India and other major generic-manufacturing locations. Finished-dose and API production can be split across countries (API production in one location, tablet manufacturing in another).
How can you check where a specific modafinil product was made?
The most reliable approach is to check:
- The manufacturer name printed on the bottle or package labeling (this identifies the company responsible for that product).
- Regulatory product listings for the exact dosage form/labeler (e.g., the FDA’s product information for the US).
If you share the brand/generic name and the labeler or manufacturer shown on your package, I can help narrow down which company made that specific product.
