Scopolamine Transdermal System

The scopolamine transdermal system is a medicated patch placed on the skin to prevent nausea and vomiting, particularly associated with motion sickness and postoperative recovery.

Scopolamine, a medication in the patch, belongs to the class of anticholinergic drugs and works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in triggering nausea and vomiting signals in the brain.

The patch slowly releases scopolamine through the skin and into the bloodstream, providing continuous relief from motion sickness or nausea for a specific duration, often up to three days.
