What everyone has commented so far is true. Scopolamine is used as an anti-emetic and anti-motility drug. The patch is scopoderm. In high enough concentrations, most drugs within the class can be deadly. It is a solanaceous alkaloid derivative similar to atropine (atropa belladonna, deadly nightshade). The amine is tertiary, which means it can become systemic when unionized. Some analogues are made with a quaternary nitrogen to keep the effects localized (see ipratropium).
There are multiple words in your post that I have never used and a few I've never seen before.
Congrats on your superior intellect (or for going to pharmaceutical school)
