Description

Transderm Scop 1.5mg is a prescription medication in the form of a transdermal patch, primarily used for the prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness and postoperative recovery. The active ingredient, scopolamine, is a muscarinic receptor antagonist that works by blocking acetylcholine receptors in the brain, which helps to reduce the symptoms of nausea and vomiting.

The patch is applied to the skin, usually behind the ear, and delivers a controlled release of scopolamine over a period of up to 72 hours. This extended-release mechanism ensures that patients receive consistent medication throughout the duration of the treatment without the need for frequent dosing. The convenience of the patch allows patients to manage their symptoms without the need for oral medications.

Transderm Scop 1.5mg is typically prescribed for use in adults and children over the age of 12 years. It is recommended to be applied at least four hours before the onset of travel for motion sickness, or as prescribed for postoperative nausea management. Proper application and removal of the patch are essential to avoid any potential side effects.
