Is Rubbing On The Transderm Scop Patch Harmful?

I work with a woman who has Cerebral Palsey and has Transderm Scop Patch prescribed for excessive saliva production. She rubs the area where the patch is applied on the bus ride home each day. Her family and I are wondering if the patch has to be behind her ear or is it possible to locate out of her reach and it still be effective?
