WEST CHESTER, Pa., Oct 20 (Reuters) - Cephalon Inc said Monday its U.K.
subsidiary has been granted a license by the Medicines Control Agency to
market Provigil (modafinil) tablets in the United Kingdom for the
treatment of narcolepsy.

Modafinil is an non-amphetamine agent that Cephalon is developing for
the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness associated with narcolepsy
under a license from Laboratoire L. Lafon, the French pharmaceutical

Cephalon has exclusive rights to market modafinil in the United States,
Japan, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Mexico.
