Final answer:
True, Scopolamine can be susceptible to abuse; however, the transdermal patch form used for treating motion sickness releases controlled low doses, minimizing the risk of toxicity.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that Scopolamine (Transderm Scope) is susceptible to abuse is true (T/F). Scopolamine, in its transdermal patch form, is regulated to release low concentrations of the drug to safely treat motion sickness, mitigating the risk of toxicity associated with higher doses.
However, like many medicinal substances, it does have the potential for abuse, especially in larger, unregulated doses which can lead to dangerous effects. Topical applications of scopolamine or atropine from belladonna plants, as in cosmetic or therapeutic uses, typically involve significantly lower doses that do not cause the systemic toxicities seen with ingestion of the plant itself.
