Physical Facilitation of Percutaneous Drug Delivery
We introduced an alternative means of drug transportation through the skin by means of sweat gland activation. The results showed that activation of sweat glands led to significant increase of the skin conductance which enabled us to use a lower voltage in order to achieve noticeable improvement in drug delivery in a long period of time. The drug delivery was performed and tested by means of HPLC method.
