Scopoderm

Scopoderm is a patch which contains the active substance hyoscine hydrobrominde. This is one of the most commonly used medications for motion sickness. The medication is absorbed through the skin to stop people from feeling nauseous or sick while in motion and because it acts for 72 hours there is no need to remember to take the next dose or wait until you feel sick, which in many cases can be too late as vomiting will mean oral medication is brought back up.

Being a patch it is simple to use and there is no need to measure doses or have water to hand when using. Applied before travel commences it can keep travel sickness and nausea at bay before it begins allowing users to have a more comfortable journey.

Scopoderm is available at EuroClinix in packs of 2,4,6,8 and 10 with each patch containing 1.5 mg.

The active ingredient in Scopoderm works by stopping the brain from getting confused. When you travel the eyes see motion so send a message to the brain to balance the inner ear. The conflict of not moving while the eyes see motion can cause people to feel nauseous when travelling in a car, plane, train and other methods of transportation.

Scopoderm alleviates travel sickness by blocking the receptors that send the message to the vomit part of the brain so that travel does not make you feel nauseous thus preventing the symptoms.

• Scopoderm works best when it is taken 5 or 6 hours before leaving. It can be used during a journey if you begin to feel nauseous too. To use the patch you should:
• First take the patch away from its sealed patch and remove the backing
• Hold the edge without touching the sticky side and remove the patch from its backing
• Place the patch on an area of skin behind the ear where there is no hair and hold onto it for ten seconds to ensure adhesion
• Wash hands after placing the patch on the skin and again after you remove it
• After removal you should wash the area of skin where it has been
• If the patch does come off when travelling it should be thrown away. The area of skin should then be cleaned and a new patch should be applied to the area of skin behind the other ear.

If you embark on a journey that lasts for over 3 days you can remove and apply a new patch to the other ear to continue receiving the anti-emetic medication without a break.

The Scopoderm patch is available online at EuroClinix as one dose of 1.5 mg in packs of 2,4,6,8 or 10.

Although mild there are side effects that may be experience when first applying Scopoderm patch. The most common is having a dry mouth which wears off after a short while.

In rare cases other side effects include feeling drowsy, confused or having blurred vision. In some cases people may experience skin irritation from the patch which should die down after wearing for a while.
