Neuropharmacology

Neuropharmacology is the study of the effects of drugs on the nervous system and aims to develop compounds to benefit humans with psychiatric and neurologic disease. Pharmacokinetic parameters determine the pharmacodynamics, ie, pharmacological response, by interaction between the drug and the receptor. The practice of personalized neurology requires matching the most suitable drugs to individual patients.

Chelation therapy

Modafinil

Modafinil is indicated for the management of excessive daytime sleepiness associated with narcolepsy. The FDA has approved its use to improve wakefulness in patients with excessive sleepiness associated with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome and shift-work sleep disorder. Although modafinil improves measures of sleepiness, it does not normalize them because it does not correct the basic underlying cause. Therefore, treatment may be required for an indefinite period.
