- 2 things to note:
- 1) you may NOT be pilot in command on Scopolamine, but then again the pilot
- is usually busy enough to not get sick
- 2) you must also wear the transdermal patch for at least an hour or two AFTER
- you are out of the motion-sickness causing situation, or you will get
- "ground-sick" from the transition from motion to solid ground.
