Scopoderm Patches

What is Scopoderm?

Scopoderm is an antiemetic drug, used to prevent sickness and nausea (especially motion sickness and vertigo).

How do Scopoderm patches work?

Scopoderm patches contains hyoscine which belongs to the group of medicines called anti-emetics or anti-sickness medicines. This substance blocks the nausea and prevents you from feeling sick.

What are the benefits of using Scopoderm patches?

While travelling can be exciting, people who suffer from motion sickness can struggle with daily life. Whether they are affected on planes, cars, trains, buses or boats, it all falls under the umbrella of motion sickness and it disrupts travelling rather a lot. Taking Scopoderm ensures you can travel without worries of feeling unwell.

How do I use Scopoderm patches?

Always follow the guidance given in the enclosed patient information leaflet and be sure to read it before commencing use of the medicine. Wash hands before applying and then start by removing the patch from the sachet. Peel off the clear backing and press the sticky side firmly onto clean, dry and hair-free skin behind the ear, making sure to hold the patch around the edges so as not to touch the sticky substance. Wash your hands again after application and do not touch the patch once it’s in place. Once your journey is complete, simply peel the patch off and dispose of it carefully, again washing your hands and the area of skin that it was adhered to. The patches can be worn up to 3 days at a time but if you are travelling for longer than this then you can simply swap to a new patch after the three day period is over. You can swim and bathe with the patch on, as long as you have applied it properly.

What is the correct dosage of Scopoderm patches?

Scopoderm patches contain hyoscine at a strength of 1.5mg per patch. The recommended dose is one patch at a time for a maximum of three days. If you forget to use your Scopoderm then apply it as soon as you remember. However, do not apply two to make up for a forgotten application. If you use more Scopoderm than you should then you may feel restless, overexcited or confused. Remove the patches as soon as you realise and contact a doctor if symptoms of an overdose persist.
