Recent advances in cutaneous drug delivery by iontophoresis.

Journal: Expert opinion on drug delivery
Published Date: Apr 13, 2025

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Iontophoresis has been extensively studied for topical and transdermal drug delivery to stimulate the absorption of molecules that would hardly pass through the outermost layer of the skin passively. Recent research has focused on its combination with nanoparticle-based systems or microneedles to expand its therapeutic applications.
