use of ultrasound to push a drug through the skin
phonophoresis
31
lower the frequency, the greater the blank of the drug
absorption
32
increasing the wattage of the ultrasound increases blank of the skin
absorption
33
some drugs cant even get through blank
skin
34
parameters for phonophoresis with ultrasound
continuous, up to 1.5 W, 5-20 mins
35
drug with best absorption with phonophoresis
methyl salicylate cream
36
drug with worst absorption with phonophoresis
hydrocortisone cream
37
hydrocortisone is absorbed better in blank
ultraphonic gel
