Many modes of agents through the skin. Typically, devices are used which delivery have been developed, including, for example, hold a pharmaceutical agent in a reservoir near the skin, enteral (oral), parenteral (intramuscular, intravenous, sub 25 generate an electric field surrounding the pharmaceutical cutaneous), and topical administration. In most instances the agent-dermal interface, and drive the agent through the skin. administration system is chosen for reliable dosage delivery For iontophoretic delivery, the drug molecules must be in and convenience. an ionized state with either a positive or negative charge.
