Scopolamine
- Notes
Scopolamine is an oral,
intravenous, ophthalmic or topical drug with many uses including the
prevention of motion sickness. Transderm-Scop is scopolamine administered
topically (through the skin or transdermal) via a special delivery system
that gradually releases scopolamine onto the skin over a period of three
days. The scopolamine is absorbed into the body through the skin. It
is not clear how scopolamine prevents nausea and vomiting due to motion
sickness. The vestibular part of the ear is very important for balance.
When a person becomes disoriented due to motion, the vestibule sends
a signal through nerves to the vomiting center in the brain, and vomiting
occurs. Acetylcholine is a chemical that nerves use to transmit messages
to each other. Scientists believe that scopolamine prevents communication
between the nerves of the vestibule and the vomiting center in the brain
by blocking the action of acetylcholine. Scopolamine also may work directly
on the vomiting center. Scopolamine must be taken before the onset of
motion sickness to be effective.
