Scopoderm TTS constitutes a new method of using scopolamine in the form of a patch which is applied behind the ear and which provides for programmed release of the active substance through the intact skin into the bloodstream over a prolonged period of up to 3 days.
This so-called transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) containing scopolamine is designed for the prevention of motion sickness, such as can occur when travelling by boat, plane, train or car, and which gives rise to nausea, dizziness and vomiting
Before using Scopoderm TTS, please ask your doctor or pharmacist:

- If you have (or have had) any metabolic, liver, or kidney disease
- If you have suffered in the past or are now suffering from pain in the eyes, blurred vision, or rainbow-coloured halos around lights
- If you have had epileptic seizures in the past or are now suffering from epilepsy.
- Must be kept out of the reach of children.
- Scopoderm must not be used by persons hyper-sensitive to scopolamine or by those suffering from glaucoma (increased pressure within the eye).
