What is this drug used for?
Transderm Scop is used to relieve nausea, vomiting, and dizziness associated with motion sickness. Transderm Scop is an anticholinergic medicine. Anticholinergics have many effects in the body. For example, they decrease the secretion of fluids, slow the stomach and intestine, and dilate the pupils.
How is this drug taken?
Transderm Scop comes as a patch to be placed on the skin behind your ear. Apply one patch to a clean, dry, hairless area behind the ear. The patch should be applied at least 4 hours before its effects will be needed. Each patch is good for 3 days. At the end of 3 days or when the Transderm Scop patch is no longer needed, remove the patch and throw it away. Wrap the patch in tissue or paper to avoid exposing anyone else to the remaining medication. Wash your hands and the area behind your ear thoroughly to remove any traces of Transderm Scop from the area. If a new patch needs to be applied, place a fresh patch on the hairless area behind your other ear.
