ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method of enhancing the amount of a pharmaceutical composition delivered to a target tissue site in a mammal, by creating a transient differential between tile hydrostatic pressure in the target site and a region near the target tissue site whereby the composition is transported toward the site. An apparatus for performing the method is provided. In one form that apparatus includes a pharmaceutical reservoir, pump, and an agent reservoir and pump.
