Abstract:
Iontophoresis in medicine is a combined pharmacological and physical method of treatment that unites the therapeutic effect of an electric current with the pharmacological effect of medicinal substances administered at the same time via an electric current. The article describes the physical basis of the therapeutic effect of direct electric current on biological tissues, and highlights the physical and chemical mechanisms of target administration of pharmaceutical substances into the human body through intact skin or mucous membrane by means of direct electric current. In addition, it presents the results of international as well as Russian domestic scientific studies on the clinical effectiveness of iontophoresis in ophthalmology.
