ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a system and method for controlling the rate of electrokinetic delivery of a drug or drugs through the skin (42) or mucous membrane of a human or animal being by way of a drug reservoir (12) having a pair of electrodes (16,18) positioned in the reservoir (12) that are connected to first (22A) and second (22B) power sources. The first (22A) and second (22B) power sources can be optionally directed to the electrodes (16, 18) to add to or subtract from the second (22B) power source so as to cause variations in the drug reservoir (12) in accordance with the type of drug being administered. The system can include computer (62) directed controls (66) programmed for the particular drug. With such pre-programmed variations in the drug reservoir (12), control of the rate of drug delivery through the skin (42) can be regulated or pre-set by prescription.
