- Abstract
Ten developmentally delayed children with excessive drooling were randomized in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of transdermal scopolamine. Over half of the patients had a statistically significant reduction in drooling, and one-third had cessation of drooling, while wearing the scopolamine patch. This short-term study supports earlier reports of the safety and efficacy of transdermal scopolamine for reducing excessive drooling in developmentally disabled children.
