Transderm Scop contains the active ingredient scopolamine. It is a prescription skin patch used to help prevent nausea and vomiting.

Motion Sickness

Transderm Scop is used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by motion sickness.

Motion sickness can happen during travel by car, boat, plane, or other forms of transportation.

The patch works best when it is applied before symptoms begin.

Nausea and Vomiting After Surgery

Transderm Scop may also be used to help prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting, which can occur after anesthesia and surgery.

It is usually applied before surgery so the medication has time to begin working.

How Transderm Scop Works

Scopolamine belongs to a group of medications called anticholinergics.

It blocks the action of a chemical messenger called acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors in the nervous system.

How This Helps Prevent Nausea

Signals from the inner ear and other parts of the nervous system can trigger nausea and vomiting.

By blocking certain acetylcholine signals, Transderm Scop helps reduce the nerve activity that contributes to motion sickness and postoperative nausea.

Transdermal Patch

Transderm Scop is supplied as a patch that is placed on the skin behind the ear.

The patch slowly releases scopolamine through the skin over several days.

This provides a steady amount of medication without the need to take repeated oral doses.

Important Use Information

Transderm Scop is mainly used to prevent nausea and vomiting rather than to treat severe symptoms after they have already started.

Use the patch exactly as directed and avoid touching your eyes after handling it, because scopolamine on the fingers can cause temporary blurred vision or enlargement of the pupil.

Transderm Scop is a skin patch that is placed on a clean, dry, hairless area behind one ear.

For motion sickness, apply the patch at least 4 hours before you expect to need its effect.

Each patch can remain in place for up to 3 days.

If you still need treatment after 3 days, remove the old patch and apply a new patch behind the other ear.

Before Applying the Patch

Wash and dry the area behind your ear.

Make sure the skin is clean and free from cuts, irritation, pain, or tenderness.

Do not apply the patch to broken or irritated skin.

How to Apply the Patch

Open the protective pouch and remove the patch.

Peel off the protective backing, taking care not to touch the adhesive surface more than necessary.

Place the adhesive side firmly against the skin behind your ear.

Press gently to make sure the patch sticks securely.

Wash Your Hands After Applying It

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after applying the patch.

This is important because scopolamine left on your fingers can accidentally get into your eyes and cause blurred vision or an enlarged pupil.

Use Around Surgery

When Transderm Scop is used to help prevent nausea and vomiting after surgery, follow the timing instructions given by your healthcare team.

The patch is usually applied before surgery and may be left in place for up to 24 hours after surgery, depending on your treatment plan.

Do not remove or replace the patch earlier unless your healthcare provider tells you to.

While Wearing the Patch

Do not cut the patch.

Check occasionally to make sure it is still firmly attached.

Avoid touching or rubbing the patch unnecessarily.

If the patch falls off, do not try to reuse it. Apply a new patch behind the other ear if your healthcare provider has instructed you to continue treatment.

Removing the Patch

When it is time to remove the patch, peel it off slowly.

Fold the used patch in half with the sticky sides together before throwing it away.

Wash the skin behind your ear and wash your hands thoroughly after removing the patch.

What to Do If You Forget to Apply the Patch

If you forget to apply the patch before travel or surgery, apply it as soon as you remember and contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you are unsure whether there is enough time for it to work.

Do not apply more than one patch at a time unless your healthcare provider specifically tells you to.

Follow Your Healthcare Provider’s Instructions

Use only one patch at a time and keep it in place for no longer than directed.

Do not use extra patches or replace them more frequently in an attempt to increase the effect.

Glaucoma

Do not use Transderm Scop if you have angle-closure glaucoma.

Scopolamine can increase pressure inside the eye and may trigger an acute glaucoma attack.

If you have open-angle glaucoma, your healthcare provider may monitor your eye pressure while you use the patch. Seek medical attention if you develop severe eye pain, redness, blurred vision, or halos around lights.

Drowsiness, Dizziness, and Blurred Vision

Transderm Scop can cause:

  • Drowsiness
  • Dizziness
  • Blurred vision
  • Confusion
  • Reduced coordination

Avoid driving, operating machinery, swimming alone, or doing other activities that require full alertness until you know how the medication affects you.

Seizures and Nervous-System Effects

Scopolamine may cause or worsen neurological symptoms, including seizures, confusion, agitation, or unusual behavior.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of seizures, epilepsy, psychiatric illness, or other neurological conditions.

Contact your healthcare provider if you develop new or worsening confusion, hallucinations, unusual behavior, or seizures.

Kidney or Liver Problems

People with kidney or liver impairment may have a greater risk of nervous-system side effects from scopolamine.

Your healthcare provider may monitor you more closely if you have kidney or liver disease.

Difficulty Urinating or Enlarged Prostate

Scopolamine can make it more difficult to urinate because of its anticholinergic effects.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have:

  • An enlarged prostate
  • Urinary retention
  • Bladder-neck obstruction
  • Difficulty passing urine

Remove the patch and contact your healthcare provider if you develop new difficulty urinating.

Stomach or Intestinal Blockage

Scopolamine can slow movement through the digestive system.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have an intestinal blockage, pyloric obstruction, or another condition that affects normal movement through the stomach or intestines.

Dry Mouth and Other Anticholinergic Effects

Dry mouth is a common effect of scopolamine.

Other medications with anticholinergic effects may make dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, or difficulty urinating worse.

Drinking water, chewing sugar-free gum, or using other measures recommended by your healthcare provider may help with dry mouth.

High Body Temperature

Transderm Scop has been associated with serious cases of hyperthermia, or dangerously high body temperature.

Remove the patch and contact your healthcare provider if you develop a very high fever, hot or dry skin, confusion, or other symptoms of overheating.

Drug Interactions

Transderm Scop can interact with medications that cause drowsiness or have anticholinergic effects.

These may include:

  • Sedatives
  • Sleeping medications
  • Tranquilizers
  • Opioids
  • Certain antidepressants
  • Antihistamines
  • Other anticholinergic medications

Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products you use.

Alcohol

Alcohol can increase drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, and reduced coordination caused by scopolamine.

Avoid or limit alcohol while using Transderm Scop unless your healthcare provider tells you it is safe.

Pregnancy

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

Transderm Scop may be used during pregnancy when the expected benefits outweigh the potential risks, but it should be avoided in people with severe preeclampsia because of reports of eclamptic seizures with scopolamine exposure.

Breastfeeding

Tell your healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding.

Scopolamine can pass into breast milk, so your healthcare provider will consider the benefits of treatment and any potential risk to the nursing infant.

Allergic Reactions

Do not use Transderm Scop if you have had a serious allergic reaction to scopolamine or another ingredient in the patch.

Seek immediate medical attention if you develop:

  • Hives
  • Severe rash
  • Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat
  • Difficulty breathing or swallowing

Skin Irritation

Apply the patch only to clean, dry, intact skin behind the ear.

Do not place it over cuts, rashes, irritated skin, or other damaged areas.

Remove the patch and contact your healthcare provider if you develop a severe skin reaction.

Withdrawal After Removing the Patch

After using Transderm Scop for several days, some people may develop withdrawal symptoms after the patch is removed.

Symptoms may include:

  • Dizziness
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Headache
  • Sweating
  • Abdominal cramps
  • Confusion
  • Weakness
  • Low blood pressure

These symptoms may begin 24 hours or more after patch removal. Contact your healthcare provider if symptoms are severe.

Remove the Patch Before an MRI

Transderm Scop should be removed before an MRI scan because parts of the patch may become hot and cause a skin burn.

Tell MRI staff that you are using a scopolamine patch before the scan.

Can Transderm Scop cause drowsiness?

Yes. Transderm Scop can cause drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, or blurred vision. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or doing other activities that require full alertness until you know how the patch affects you. Alcohol and other medications that cause drowsiness may make these effects stronger.

Is Transderm Scop habit-forming?

Transderm Scop is not considered an addictive medication in the same way as opioids or other controlled substances. However, after using scopolamine for several days, some people may develop withdrawal symptoms when the patch is removed. These may include dizziness, nausea, headache, sweating, or weakness. Contact your healthcare provider if you develop significant symptoms after stopping the patch.

How long does it take for a Transderm Scop patch to start working?

Transderm Scop should be applied at least 4 hours before you need protection from motion sickness. Scopolamine can begin appearing in the bloodstream within about 4 hours after the patch is applied, although peak levels occur later. For best results, apply the patch before travel begins rather than waiting until motion sickness symptoms have already started.

Can Transderm Scop be used in children?

Transderm Scop is not approved for use in pediatric patients because its safety and effectiveness have not been established in children. Children may also be particularly sensitive to scopolamine’s anticholinergic effects, including confusion, hallucinations, blurred vision, and other nervous-system reactions. A healthcare provider should recommend a more appropriate motion-sickness treatment for a child.
