This work explores the possibility of achieving therapeutic levels of the anti-Parkinsonian drug, ropinirole hydrochloride (RHCl), by transdermal iontophoretic delivery. An in vivo study was performed in hairless rats during which RH(+) was delivered at one current intensity (0.58 mA identical with

β¦ Synopsis
An experimental methodology was developed to evaluate the physicochemical basis for in vitro-in vivo correlations in iontophoretic delivery situations. This experimental methodology can be used to quantitatively evaluate the extent of interaction between chemical permeation enhancers and iontophoresis for drug delivery. The inherent advantages of using Ag/AgCl electrodes are fully exploited to control pH and minimize depletion of permeant during prolonged periods of iontophoresis.
