Which companies supply modafinil (generic and brand) in the U.S.?
Modafinil is sold in the U.S. under the brand name Provigil and in multiple generic versions. The “supplier” depends on what level you mean:
- Brand manufacturer: Teva Pharmaceuticals (Provigil)
- Generic suppliers: multiple manufacturers produce generic modafinil tablets, and the specific company on a given NDC can change by pharmacy and inventory.
How do I find the exact modafinil supplier for a specific product/NDC?
For the most accurate “who supplies this” answer, check the product’s:
- NDC number (on the bottle label or package), then match that NDC to the listed manufacturer on the carton label.
- Pharmacy listing pages can also show the manufacturer of the stocked generic.
Is modafinil still protected by patents, and does that affect who can supply it?
Because modafinil has been widely available as a generic drug, supply is not limited to a single company the way it would be for a newer, still-protected medicine. Patent and exclusivity status can affect which manufacturers first launch, but generic manufacturers typically supply modafinil once approval pathways are available.
If you want, share the brand (Provigil vs generic), dosage (e.g., 100 mg/200 mg), and the NDC number—then I can help narrow to the specific manufacturer(s) associated with that exact product.
Are there known “modafinil supplier” issues (counterfeits, gray market)?
People buying modafinil through non-pharmacy channels often face higher risk of counterfeits or mislabeled products. Using a licensed pharmacy and confirming the NDC/manufacturer on the prescription label is the safest way to avoid unreliable sourcing.
What suppliers are used for modafinil in clinical trials?
Clinical trials usually use study drug supplied by the sponsor/contract manufacturer tied to the trial site and regulatory dossier. Trial-specific “supplier” can differ by study. If you tell me the trial name (or the NCT number), I can help identify who supplied the drug based on public trial documents.
