Scopolamine patches

Scopolamine patches are adhesive strips placed on the skin, typically behind the ear, to prevent nausea and motion sickness. They release a medication called scopolamine, which works by blocking signals in the brain that trigger vomiting. These patches are often used by travelers during long journeys or for patients undergoing certain medical treatments. They provide a continuous, controlled dose of medication over several days, offering a convenient alternative to oral medications. Side effects can include dry mouth, drowsiness, and blurred vision, so it's important to follow instructions and consult a healthcare provider if needed.
