Scopoderm 1.5mg Patches are used to prevent the symptoms of motion sickness such as nausea, vomiting and vertigo which can occur when travelling by boat, train or car. They contain the active ingredient hyoscine, a medicine known as an anti-emetic or anti-sickness medicine. Travel sickness occurs when your body\'s internal balancing system becomes confused by receiving different messages - your eyes say one thing about the position of your body, but your balance mechanisms tell you differently. Anyone can suffer from travel sickness: children are more prone but often grow out of it as they get older. Scopoderm 1.5mg Patches are flat, round patches approximately 1.8cm in diameter and each patch will last for up to 3 days.
