Scopoderm is a motion sickness patch Manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) which contains the active substance hyoscine hydrobromide. 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 travelling.
Because it is a transdermal patch (adhesive patch that delivers drugs through the skin), it is quick and easy to use and does not require measurements or water to be present when being applied. Applied before travel, it can prevent travel sickness symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and vertigo, before they begin, allowing passengers to enjoy their journey.
A Scopoderm patch can also be called scopolamine patch or hyoscine patch. Both names refer to the same anticholinergic drug. Hyoscine patch is a name more commonly used in the UK, while Scopolamine patch is more commonly used in the US.
Motion sickness occurs when your body's internal balance system becomes confused when receiving different sensory signals whilst you're travelling. The conflict of seeing motion while not moving can cause people to feel nauseated when travelling in a car, plane, train and other methods of transportation.
Scopoderm travel sickness patches contain the recommended dose of Hyoscine 1.5mg, which has an antiemetic effect that helps prevent nausea, vomiting, and vertigo. As you travel, your eyes see motion, so they send a message to your brain to balance out your inner ear. Scopoderm alleviates motion sickness by blocking the receptors that send the message to that part of the brain so that travel does not make you feel nauseous thus preventing the symptoms.
Scopoderm patches last 72 hours, so you won't have to remember to take the next dose or wait until you feel sick, which in many cases is too late as vomiting will make oral medication ineffective.
The patch is available at euroClinix in packs of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10, with each patch containing Hyoscine hydrobromide 1.5mg. Scopoderm can be ordered online at euroClinix and delivered the next day, making it simple for last-minute travellers.
Scopoderm (also called an hyoscine patch) is available as a skin patch for adults. This medication is part of the antiemetics or anti-sickness medicine family and it is approved for use in motion sickness:
Although usually used to treat motion sickness, the Scopoderm patch has many other applications. As a side effect, the patch can cause a dry mouth, which is why physicians sometimes prescribe these hyoscine patches to treat hypersalivation in individuals with Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, and other neurodegenerative conditions. It is also sometimes used before surgery to decrease saliva.
When prescribed off-label (hyoscine patch for secretions), this patch delays saliva production as the active ingredient is absorbed into the bloodstream. A doctor will prescribe Scopoderm if excessive salivation causes embarrassment, disrupts daily activities, or disrupts sleep. But you should keep in mind that the Scopoderm patches are not approved for use off-label - at euroClinix, this medicine will be prescribed and sold only for travel or motion sickness.
Make sure to follow the directions on the label or pack, or those from your doctor. The patch works best when applied 5 to 6 hours before departure. It can also be used while travelling, if you feel nauseated. You should follow these instructions before using the patch:
On a trip lasting longer than three days, you can remove the patch and apply a new one to the other ear so you can continue receiving the antiemetic medication without a break.
Although mild, there are a few side effects of hyoscine patch that may occur when first applying it to the skin. The most common hyoscine side effects are:
