Iontophoresis DOSAGE and TIME calculation? correct answers 40mA*m


Iontophoresis DRIVING FORCE or POLARITY? correct answers Based on medicine: use
SAME POLARITY on patch to REPEAL/PUSH meds.


ELECTROSTATIC REPULSION correct answers Using same polarity of medicine on patch
because equal polarities repeal and help push meds in
