Safely Buy Transderm Scop ( Scopolamine ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Transderm Scop is a skin patch medication used to prevent nausea and vomiting related to motion sickness or anesthesia from surgery.

Scopolamine is a belladonna alkaloid and anticholinergic medication that affects your central nervous system.
