Modafinil, armodafinil, solriamfetol, pitolisant, amphetamine salts, methylphenidate and caffeine — mechanism, dosing, safety and legal status.
Head-to-head pages that report where two drugs differ and, as carefully, where they do not.

Maintained assets: regulatory status by country, label change history, and an interaction table.
