IONTOPHORESIS DEVICE AND ELECTRIC POWER SOURCE FOR AN IONTOPHORESIS DEVICE

摘要

A drug may be administered in accordance with a daily living pattern of a patient and/or a circadian rhythm of the drug. An iontophoresis device includes a working electrode assembly and a non-working electrode assembly for administering a drug by iontophoresis and an electric power source connected to the working electrode assembly and the non-working electrode assembly. Current control circuitry programmably controls a current that flows to each of the electrode assemblies according to a set pattern, and the drug is released based at least in part on the current.
