THE MODAPHARMA PROJECT: INFORMING AND SELLING MODAFINIL TO THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY
Charles D Peterson and Howard C Anderson Jr

OBJECTIVE: To provide a detailed description of the modapharam.com website including its overall purpose, goals, and how it works, and provide valuable information and guidelines for pharmacists and customers on how to successfully inform and vend modafinil to serve a large online community that have lost their trust in online pharmacy services.

DISCUSSION: One online vendor of modafinil is observed. Through use of test purchases, online reviews, and computer links, this study has developed a successful method for analysing a specialist modafinil online store.The sites established from an offshore company with shipping from indian pharmacies. Their modafinil products are sources from legitimate Indian pharmacies, who acquire the medication in bulk from large companies such as HAB Pharmaceuticals. The website offers three products, each being generic india versions of commonly prescribed modafinil brands. All contact to customers is handled by an online support team, with 24 hour response times. Orders are shipped 7 days a week, with each customer receiving a tracking number instantly upon purchase.

CONCLUSIONS: Through a online modafinil pharmacy such as Modapharma, pharmacy services can be offered to a large global audience with the simple search within google. Modafinil services produce the same quality of pharmacy services as the traditional mode of delivery through a licensed physical vendor and provide additional value-added features that are not found with traditional pharmacy practice
