Publication: May 2011
Product Code: NTR222P
|
To expand the limits of transdermal drug delivery,
developers are employing energy sources such as ultrasound,
heat and electrical current to affect active transport
through the skin. These techniques can increase the upper
molecular size limit dramatically, opening up a host of
opportunities for iontophoretic delivery. Iontophoresis
devices with ease-of-use features have the potential to
address the needs of an aging population for user-friendly
delivery and are positioned to make a significant impact in
selected therapeutic areas. This report includes analysis of
iontophoretic transdermal technologies, market and
regulatory factors, product evaluations, and profiles of
leading sector participants. |
