*Jayesh Sandip Sawarkar, Kalyankar R. R. and Anand Shriram Baley
ABSTRACT
Iontophoresis is the introduction of ions into the body by using direct electrical current. It is a non-invasive process that uses locally applied continuous direct current to passively diffused ionized medication into the skin. The term Iontophoresis is simply defined as transmission of ions. Iontophoresis may be used for local anesthetic action, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory action and relief from neurogenic pain. This review provides a brief overview of the benefits and drawbacks of Iontophoretic drug delivery systems, as well as an overview of the experimental design and electrodes used in these systems.
