Abstract
Electrotransport involves the transport of ionized drugs across the skin under the influence of an electric current. This method of delivery has been used for many years to deliver drugs locally to the skin or the mouth, but now it is being studied as a means of delivering drugs for their systemic effects. Opioid analgesics may be administered via this route.
