title: Results of a randomized double-blind crossover trial of scopolamine versus placebo administered by transdermal patch for the control of cisplatin-induced emesis.
abstract: We tested the efficacy of scopolamine delivered by transdermal patch in preventing emesis induced by cisplatin as a single agent or in combination. The administration of scopolamine by transdermal patch resulted in acceptable side effects but was ineffective in controlling cisplatin-induced emesis.
