Forty-two patients, undergoing major gynaecological surgery, were randomly allocated to have a patch applied to the skin behind one ear, containing either hyoscine or placebo. They were followed up at 24-hour intervals for 3 days postoperatively and divided into matched pairs for statistical
Transdermal hyoscine (Scopoderm, Ciba-Geigy) has been compared with placebo in 283 female patients. The hyoscine patch had no significant effect on postoperative nausea or vomiting. In contrast with earlier studies, there was no correlation between previous experiences of nausea (motion, pregnancy
In a double-blind, randomized study, we have compared the efficacy of transdermal hyoscine in the prevention of nausea and vomiting with placebo in 60 young, ASA I-II patients after middle ear surgery during general anaesthesia. In the placebo group, 27% and 43% of patients suffered from nausea and
The efficacy of transdermal hyoscine in the reduction of nausea, retching and vomiting was compared with placebo during and after stapedo- and tympanoplasty under local anaesthesia in a double-blind, prospective and randomized study. In the placebo group (n = 29), 69% of the patients were free from
We have studied 40 children aged 6-14 yr undergoing abdominal surgery under general anaesthesia with extradural block; they were allocated randomly to receive transdermal hyoscine (loading dose 140 micrograms, followed by 5 micrograms h-1) or placebo for the duration of postoperative analgesia with

OBJECTIVE
Hyoscine (scopolamine), which is effective in the prophylaxis of motion sickness, shows similar binding affinities to all of the five known muscarinic receptor sub-types. The effectiveness of hyoscine was compared with zamifenacin (UK-76654), which binds selectively to the muscarinic M3
We report the case of a 60-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer whose intractable nausea and vomiting were effectively managed with a hyoscine hydrobromide (scopolamine) patch. Contrast swallow revealed oesophageal spasm to be the underlying cause. Symptom relief may be attributed to the
