Dosage & Administration
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Application and Removal ( 2.1 ): Each scopolamine transdermal system delivers 1 mg of scopolamine over 3 days. Only wear one transdermal system at a time. Do not cut the transdermal system. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after application. Avoid touching or applying pressure to the transdermal system once applied. Upon removal, fold used transdermal system in half with sticky side together, discard to prevent accidental contact or ingestion, and wash the hands and application site with soap and water. Recommended Dosage : Motion Sickness: Apply one transdermal system to the hairless area behind one ear at least 4 hours before antiemetic effect is required for use up to 3 days. If therapy for more than 3 days is required, remove the first transdermal system and apply a new transdermal system behind the other ear. ( 2.2 ) PONV: For surgeries other than cesarean section, apply one transdermal system behind the ear the evening before surgery and remove 24 hours following surgery. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Important Application and Removal Instructions Each scopolamine transdermal system is formulated to deliver in vivo approximately 1 mg of scopolamine over 3 days. Only wear one transdermal system at any time. Do not cut the transdermal system. Apply the transdermal system to the skin in the postauricular area (hairless area behind one ear). After the transdermal system is applied on the dry skin behind the ear, wash hands thoroughly with soap and water and dry hands [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] . If the transdermal system becomes displaced, discard the transdermal system, and apply a new transdermal system on the hairless area behind the other ear. Once the transdermal system has been affixed, avoid touching or applying pressure to the transdermal system while it is being worn, since pressure exerted on it may cause scopolamine to ooze out at the edge. Upon removal, fold the used transdermal system in half with the sticky side together, and discard in household trash in a manner that prevents accidental contact or ingestion by children, pets or others. Wash the hands and application site with soap and water after transdermal system removal [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] . 2.2 Recommended Adult Dosage Motion Sickness Apply one scopolamine transdermal system to the hairless area behind one ear at least 4 hours before the antiemetic effect is required – for use up to 3 days.

Motion Sickness The most common adverse reaction (approximately two thirds) was dry mouth. Less common adverse reactions, included drowsiness (less than one sixth), blurred vision and dilation of the pupils. PONV Common adverse reactions, occurring in at least 3% of patients in PONV clinical trials are shown in Table 1.

Information for Patients
17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Patient Information and Instructions for Use). Administration Instructions Counsel patients on how to apply and remove the transdermal system [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )] : Only wear one transdermal system at any time. Do not cut the transdermal system. Apply the transdermal system to the skin in the postauricular (hairless area behind one ear) area. After the transdermal system is applied on the dry skin behind the ear, wash hands thoroughly with soap and water and dry hands. If the transdermal system becomes displaced, discard the transdermal system, and apply a new transdermal system on the hairless area behind the other ear. Once the transdermal system has been affixed, avoid touching or applying pressure to the transdermal system, since pressure exerted on it may cause scopolamine to ooze out at the edge. Upon removal, fold the used transdermal system in half with the sticky side together, and discard in household trash in a manner that prevents accidental contact or ingestion by children, pets or others. Wash the hands and application site with soap and water after transdermal system removal. Patients with Open-Angle Glaucoma Advise patients with open-angle glaucoma to remove the scopolamine transdermal system immediately and contact their healthcare provider if they experience symptoms of acute angle closure glaucoma, including pain and reddening of the eyes, accompanied by dilated pupils, blurred vision and/or seeing halos around lights [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] .
