scopolamine patch

A scopolamine patch is a small adhesive bandage placed behind the ear to help prevent nausea and vomiting caused by motion sickness or post-surgery. It delivers the medication gradually through your skin over several days. Scopolamine works by blocking certain signals in the brain that trigger feelings of nausea. It's easy to use, convenient, and effective for short-term use, providing relief without the need for pills. However, it may cause side effects like dry mouth or drowsiness, so it's important to follow the instructions and consult a healthcare provider if you have concerns.
