22
Q

What patch system is susceptible to an intial burst?

A

PMP-controlled (adhesive has drug incorporated to saturate drug-binding sites in skin)

23
Q

What technologies are future methods of transdermal drug delivery?

A

1) low-pain microneedles, 2) iontophoresis, 3) ultrasound/sonophoresis/phonophoresis, 4) heat-induced permeation

24
Q

Define iontophoresis

A

the facilitated transport of compounds across the skin using applied electrical field

25
Q

Define electrophoresis.

A

delivery of charged compounds across the skin using a low-voltage gradient

26
Q

Define electroosmosis

A

electric field creates H2O-flow to transport hydrophilic/charged compound

27
Q

What is another term for electroosmosis?

A

convection

28
Q

What is electroporation?

A

transient high-voltage pulses that cause rapid permeation/poration of SC

29
Q

What is electroincorporation?

A

type of electroporation that transports liposomes through pores

30
Q

Describe the setup of iontophoresis.

A

2 electrodes connected to a power supply

31
Q

What are advantages to iontophoresis?

A

1) control of drug input with rate of current

32
Q

What are the disadvantages to iontophoresis?

A

1) expensive, 2) drug degradation, 3) skin metabolism, 4) local irritation

33
Q

How does electroporation work?

A

current pokes pores in lipid rafts to cause channels of lower viscosity and 10-1000-fold increase in Pe

34
Q

How long is electroporation effective

A

minutes-hours. Reversible pathway closes

35
Q

What is phonophoresis?

A

ultrasound-enhanced drug delivery across the skin

36
Q

What is the frequency of sound waves in high-frequency phonophoresis?

A

1-16 MEGAHz

37
Q

What is the frequency of sound waves in low-frequency phonophoresis?

A

20-100 KILOHz

38
Q

Which phonophoresis method is best for drug delivery and why?

A

low-frequency: produces larger, more frequent cavitation bubbles

39
Q

What is the advantage to phonophoresis?

A

large drug doses at rapid rates with reduced lag time

40
Q

What are other uses for high-frequency phonophoresis?

A

45
Q

What are dissolving microneedles

A

needles dissolve to release drug solution

46
Q

What are hollow microneedles?

A

47
Q

What does CHADD stand for?

A
