Iontophoresis EXPLAINED Theory, Use, & Example with Calculations

The video tutorial explains iontophoresis, a method for delivering drugs to specific tissues using electrical stimulation. It covers the benefits of targeted drug delivery, the importance of knowing the chemical charge, and how to set up electrodes. The procedure for iontophoresis is detailed, including programming the machine and calculating safe current intensity and treatment duration. The tutorial emphasizes the need for superficial tissue targeting and provides examples of valid treatment setups.

Discuss the limitations of iontophoresis in delivering drugs to deeper tissues.

Explain the importance of treatment duration in iontophoresis.

What is the recommended dosage range for iontophoresis treatments?

What factors determine whether a treatment using iontophoresis is valid and safe?
