Motion Sickness No More



THIS IS FOR CRAIG!!!!!


What Is the Transderm Scop® System?

The Transderm Scop® system helps to prevent the nausea and vomiting of motion sickness for up to 3 days. It is a round adhesive patch that you place behind your ear several hours before you travel.

How the Transderm Scop® System Works

A group of nerve fibers deep inside the ear helps people keep their balance. For some people, the motion of ships, airplanes, trains, automobiles, and buses increases the activity of these nerve fibers. This increased activity causes the dizziness, nausea, and vomiting of motion sickness. People may have one, some, or all of these symptoms.

Transderm Scop® contains the drug scopolamine, which helps reduce the activity of the nerve fibers in the inner ear. When a Transderm Scop® patch is placed on the skin behind one of the ears, scopolamine passes through the skin and into the bloodstream. One patch may be kept in place for 3 days if needed.
