some people swear the patch is better than robinul, others say it worse. i personally have not used the patch, my son did have robinul for a bit when was a baby, it made him plug to much, so he wasn't on it for long. i know a few people in the uk have used the patch, it was hit or miss.good luck

Our experience with Scapolamine patches is that they work great; however they can be tough on the skin. Braden can't use them because they cause blisters.
