Formulations have been developed administering methscopolamine in multi-phases. In a preferred embodiment, the formulation contains methscopolamine in an immediate release. ("IR") form and a sustained or delayed release ("DR") form and/or poised release ("PR") form. In another embodiment, the methscopolamine is released in a gradient, decreasing the side effects associated with rapidly elevated blood levels. In another embodiment the drug is bound to an ion-exchange resin, which can be suspended in a liquid or incorporated into a matrix for delayed, sustained and/or pulsed release. Dosage unit forms may be tablets, gels, liquids, capsules, beads, microparticles, films or lozenges. Multi-phase delivery can also be achieved through the use of a kit that provides for dosage escalation. This kit can be a blister pack or equivalent, wherein the drug is packaged so that a first dosage is taken, then sequentially larger dosages. The dosages can be the same in each unit, and instructions provided so that the correct dosage is obtained through the number of units and the time of administration or the dosages may be different, and the units ordered so dial the desired dosage administration profile is obtained when the patient takes the units in order as instructed.
