Who makes modafinil?

Who manufactures modafinil today?

Modafinil is made by multiple manufacturers depending on the country and the brand of the product. In the U.S., modafinil is sold under the brand name Provigil, and generic versions are sold by various generic drug makers.

Which companies make the brand vs. generic versions?

The brand product Provigil is made by a specific branded-drug manufacturer, while generic modafinil is produced by different companies that hold approval to market generic versions. The exact manufacturer for your specific bottle depends on the label (brand name vs. generic) and the country you’re in.

How can you tell who makes the modafinil you have?

Check the package label for either:
- the brand name (Provigil or another brand), which points to the branded manufacturer, or
- the manufacturer listed for the generic drug (it will appear on the packaging as the “manufacturer,” “made for,” or “marketed by” company).
