“…On the one hand, the efficiency of iontophoretic transport depends on the quantity of current delivered (i.e. product of intensity by time) (Kalia et al, 2004), but on the other hand it also depends on the effect of the current itself on the electrical properties of the skin (Chen and Chien, 1996;Chizmadzhev et al, 1998;Kanebako et al, 2002aKanebako et al, , 2003Kanebako et al, , 2002bNair and Panchagnula, 2004). In particular, it is known that using a relatively high voltage during iontophoresis facilitates the transport of drugs by a mechanism of pore formation which decreases the skin's resistance (Glaser et al, 1988;Sims et al, 1992;Inada et al, 1994).…”
