No,scopolamine patch can't be placed anywhere else except behind the ear because drug has to reach the target zone,which is inner ear.It is to be put on a hairless clean area for best action.

Hope that helps.If you have some further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up else please close the thread,rate it and write a review.
