ABSTRACT:
A self-regulated system and method for controllably administering a therapeutic agent to a patient is disclosed. A therapeutic agent is driven by unidirectional electrostatic diffusion across a rate-controlling electret membrane. The diffused therapeutic agent is then delivered to a patient. The preparation of the electret membrane and therapeutic agent delivery apparatus are also disclosed.
