Dose and method of administration
Dose
To obtain an optimum protective effect, a single scopolamine transdermal patch should be applied about 5 – 6 hours before embarking on a journey (or on the evening before the journey) to a clean, dry, hairless area of skin behind the ear. Application of one scopolamine transdermal patch is sufficient to ensure protection over a period of 72 hours; but if the patch is only needed for a shorter time, it should be removed at the end of the journey.
Should more prolonged protection be required, the scopolamine transdermal patch must be removed after 72 hours and a fresh patch applied behind the other ear.
If the scopolamine transdermal patch becomes accidentally detached, it should be replaced by a fresh patch if ongoing treatment is needed.
To prevent traces of active substance from entering the eyes the patient should always wash the hands after contact with the patch and wash the site of application after its removal
