Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Transderm Scop (1.5 MG) Work?
Scopolamine works by blocking the effects of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger involved in the nausea reflex. By interfering with signals between the vestibular system (which controls balance) and the brain, it prevents nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness or the effects of anesthesia after surgery.
Common Dosages
- 1.5 mg transdermal patch that releases scopolamine over 72 hours.
Typical Dosing
- For motion sickness prevention, apply one patch behind the ear at least 4 hours before travel. The patch can be left in place for up to 3 days.
- For postoperative nausea, apply the patch the evening before surgery and wear it for up to 72 hours after surgery.
