Abstract :
A versatile iontophoretic pulse mode system that affords operation in either a constant voltage or constant current simulation mode is presented. The stimuli can be independently adjusted in amplitude, frequency, and duty cycle. A preliminary evaluation with a load equivalent to skin resistance suggests that this system has the potential to enhance transdermal drug delivery under in vivo conditions
