Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) is a medication used to treat nausea and vomiting caused by motion sickness or anesthesia. It is often used in post-anesthesia care settings for this reason. Eldepryl (selegiline) is a medication used to treat Parkinson's disease, and Januvia (sitagliptin) is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes, neither of which would be appropriate for treating post-anesthesia nausea. Cialis (tadalafil) is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction and would not be appropriate in this situation.
