Eugeroic Agents

Meaning

Eugeroic Agents are a distinct class of pharmacological compounds whose primary clinical effect is the selective promotion of wakefulness and sustained alertness without inducing the generalized psychomotor stimulation or significant peripheral sympathomimetic effects associated with traditional stimulants. These agents are therapeutically utilized for managing pathological conditions characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, such as narcolepsy and shift work sleep disorder. Their mechanism is designed to enhance the good arousal state, promoting cognitive clarity without the unwanted side effects of widespread catecholamine release.
