Scopolamine

Scopolamine is a medication derived from certain plants, used primarily to prevent nausea and motion sickness, especially during travel. It works by blocking signals in the brain that trigger feelings of nausea and vomiting. It is typically administered via skin patches placed behind the ear or in tablet form. While effective, scopolamine can cause side effects such as dry mouth, drowsiness, dizziness, or blurred vision. Its use should be guided by a healthcare professional, especially for individuals with certain medical conditions or who are taking other medications.
