I would like to know how you feel about using a Scopolomine patch on an 82 yr old terminal Pancreatic Cancer patient who is having severe chest congestion, has glaucoma, has inflammation in the esophagus due to GERD, and cannot get the mucus out of his throat and chest easily. (We do have a suction machine from Hospice but not a very effective one.
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  Instead of the scopolamine patch, there are other preparations like oral, I. M, intro dermal, Because it has many limitations like cant be used in case of glaucoma, congestion. Etc. I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe pantoprazole, risperidone. I advise giving him the fresh juice of palatable vegetables, twice daily.  Wishing for a quick recovery. Thank you.
