Description – Artvigil is a generic form of Armodafinil (called Nuvigil – In the USA). Each tablet contains exactly 150mg of Armodafinil. Armodafinil is a newer (2007) enantiopure form of Modafinil, consisting only of the (R)-enantiomer of Modafinil. Artvigil is sold in aluminum blister strips containing 10 tablets per strip. Each blister strip is manufactured to include perforated tear points, meaning each tablet can be separated from the strip individually, without exposing the tablet. This makes Artvigil extremely easy to transport and store.
