Scopolamine (Hyoscine) – Uses, Side Effects, Mechanism of Action, Dosage, Interactions, Warnings

Scopolamine (Hyoscine) – Uses, Side Effects, Mechanism of Action, Dosage, Interactions, Warnings Scopolamine, also known as hyoscine, is an anticholinergic drug primarily used to prevent nausea and vomiting from motion sickness and postoperative recovery. It is available in transdermal, oral, and injectable forms. Its mechanism involves blocking muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the central and peripheral nervous systems, thereby inhibiting signals that trigger vomiting. Commonly, a transdermal patch (1.5 mg) is applied behind the ear to provide relief for up to 72 hours, while oral or injectable doses range from 0.3 to 0.6 mg every 6–8 hours. Aside from motion sickness, it’s also used for postoperative nausea, irritable bowel syndrome, Parkinson’s-related drooling, and to reduce secretions in palliative care. Side effects include dry mouth, drowsiness, blurred vision, constipation, and more serious effects like confusion or hallucinations in the elderly. It interacts with other anticholinergics, CNS depressants, antidepressants, and MAOIs. Caution is advised in patients with glaucoma, prostatic hypertrophy, or during pregnancy, and users should avoid driving or operating machinery due to potential drowsiness. #scopolamine #hyoscine #hyoscinebutylbromide #whatisdevil'sbreath(scopolamine)? #devil'sbreath #butylscopolamine #anticholinergic Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @learnmedicineasap   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe for more medical and health content:    / @learnmedicineasap   Check out our other helpful playlists Obstetrics and Gynecology    • Obstetrics and Gynecology   General Surgery Lessons    • General Surgery Lessons   Internal Medicine    • Internal Medicine   Child Health and Pediatrics    • Child Health and Pediatrics   Pharmacology Lecture Videos    • Pharmacology Lecture Videos   Anaesthesiology | Anesthesiology    • Anaesthesiology | Anesthesiology   Medical Parasitology    • Medical Parasitology   Infectious Diseases    • Infectious Diseases   Pathology    • Pathology   Microbiology    • Microbiology   Anatomy    • Anatomy   Ear Nose and Throat - ENT    • Ear Nose and Throat - ENT   Oral Health | Oral Hygiene | Dental Health    • Oral Health | Oral Hygiene | Dental Health   Ophthalmology | Eye Infections | Eye Diseases    • Ophthalmology | Eye Infections | Eye Diseases   Oncology    • Oncology   Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) | Sexual Wellness & Health - Sexual Infection | STI    • Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) | Sexua...   Women's Health    • Women's Health   Men's Health    • Men's Health   Vitamins, Minerals and their Deficiencies | Vitamin Deficiencies | Mineral Deficiencies    • Vitamins, Minerals and their Deficiencies ...   Clinical Skills | Clinical Techniques    • Clinical Skills | Clinical Techniques   Pharmacology Mnemonics    • Pharmacology Mnemonics   Internal Medicine Mnemonics    • Internal Medicine Mnemonics
