It works by blocking the effects of a certain natural substance (acetylcholine) on the central nervous system.
This medicine comes with a Medication Guide and patient instructions.
Patch placement should be on the postauricular area (the hairless area behind the ear). Anesthesiology 2006;104:386–7.7.

The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. Use scopolamine transdermal patch as ordered by your doctor. ompare the early and late antiemetic efficacy and adverse event profile of transdermal scopolamine (TDS) 1.5 mg, to ondansetron 4 mg IV, and droperidol 1.25 mg IV for antiemetic prophylaxis as part of a multimodal regimen in “at risk” surgical populations. Scopolamine acts: i) as a competitive inhibitor at postganglionic muscarinic receptor sites of the parasympathetic nervous system, and ii) on smooth muscles that respond to acetylcholine but lack cholinergic innervation. In addition, the authors acknowledge the assistance of the General Anesthesia Specialists Partnership (GASP) and the Drew-Cedars residency program. The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients.
In the laparoscopic surgery study, the need for rescue antiemetics in the TDS (versus ondansetron) group was reduced from 40% to 21% during the 24–48 h interval after surgery.

A factorial trial of six interventions for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Description: When used by injection, effects begin after about 20 minutes and last for up to 8 hours. Although the incidence of postoperative nausea exceeded 60% in all four groups, the overall incidences of vomiting were substantially less in the 72 h study period (ranging from 5% to 21%). If it is almost time to put on your next patch, wait until then to apply a new patch and skip the one you missed. If you have questions about side effects, call your doctor. Can J Anaesth 1996;43:1108–14.12. However, the doctor may decide the benefits of taking scopolamine transdermal patch outweigh the risks.
The stratum corneum, which acts as a significant barrier to percutaneous absorption, is the thinnest at this location. We speculate that the combination of a multimodal prophylactic regimen involving TDS, droperidol, or ondansetron in combination with dexamethasone, as well as the frequent use of rescue antiemetic medication to treat symptoms of nausea in the early postoperative period, was highly effective in limiting emesis in these two at risk surgical populations. kgUpon completion of the operation (i.e., skin closure), residual neuromuscular block was reversed with neostigmine, 2.5–5 mg, and glycopyrrolate, 0.3–0.6 mg IV, and the maintenance anesthetics and analgesics were discontinued.
However, if your mouth continues to feel dry for more than 2 weeks, check with your medical doctor or dentist. 2014 Sep;11(5):610-2. White PF. Data is temporarily unavailable. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. Scopolamine, a belladonna alkaloid, is an anticholinergic.
