Title:
IONTOPHORESIS APPARATUS CAPABLE OF CONTROLLING DOSE AND TIMING OF ADMINISTRATION OF SLEEP INDUCER AND ANALEPTIC AGENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/037476
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is an iontophoresis apparatus which can control the dose and timing
of administration of a sleep inducer and an analeptic agent. The iontophoresis
apparatus comprises a power unit, a drug supply means which is connected to the
power unit and comprises at least two or more electrode structures each containing
an ionic substance, and a current-controlling means for controlling the current
to be fed to each of the electrode structures separately. In the apparatus, a predetermined
amount of the ionic substance is released with a predetermined timing from each
of the electrode structures in accordance with the current fed from the current-controlling
means so that the substance can be administered to a living body transdermally,
at least one of the two or more electrode structures contains a sleep inducer as
the ionic substance, and at least another one of the two or more electrode structures
contains an analeptic agent as the ionic substance.
