A system for delivering medicament to a patient is described. In a first embodiment, the system has a positive ion generator having an input and an output, a device for supplying a medicament, the device in fluid communication with the input, and a nebulizing catheter in fluid communication with the output, the nebulizing catheter configured to receive medicament ionized by the positive ion generator and to deliver the medicament to the patient. In another embodiment, the system has an intracorporeal catheter in fluid communication with the output, the intracorporeal catheter configured to receive medicament ionized by the positive ion generator and to deliver the medicament to the patient. In yet another embodiment, the system has a nebulizing catheter having an input and an output, a device for supplying a medicament, the device in fluid communication with the input, and a positive ion generator in fluid communication with the output, the positive ion generator configured to receive medicament nebulized by the by the nebulizing catheter and to deliver the medicament to the patient. In another embodiment, the invention is a method of delivering a medicament to a patient, with the steps of ionizing the medicament with a positive ion generator and delivering the ionized medicament to the patient with a nebulizing catheter. In yet another embodiment, the steps are ionizing a medicament with a positive ion generator and delivering the ionized medicament to the patient with an intracorporeal catheter. In yet another embodiment, the steps are nebulizing a medicament, ionizing the nebulized medicament with a positive ion generator, and delivering the nebulized and ionized medicament to the patient.
