Scopolamine, also known as hyoscine, is a tropane alkaloid anticholinergic drug used primarily for the prevention of motion sickness, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and as a mydriatic and cycloplegic agent in ophthalmology. It is available in various formulations including oral, transdermal, and parenteral administration. Scopolamine is still in clinical use today, mainly for its antiemetic properties and ophthalmological purposes.
