ABSTRACT:
A body implantable lead for the delivery of stimulation energy to a desired body site including a drug dispenser carried by the lead which retains a drug to be dispensed while allowing the dispensing of that drug at least adjacent the desired body stimulation site. The drug is retained in a cavity within the lead, in the form of a solid plug or a powder wherein the drug is compounded with an appropriate molecular sieve material. The drug is released only after the molecular sieves are activated by exposure to water. In those embodiments in which the molecular sieves take the form of a powder, the molecular sieves and drug may be conveniently loaded into the electrode, after manufacture and prior to implant.
