Bloggers, time has come to delve into our own
opinions and really enlighten you on whether iontophoresis is a suitable option
for your business plan. As we can see by Belanger; Iontophoresis is a viable
option for many different pathology presentations in your clinic including; pain,
myopathy, myositis ossificans, tendonitis and epicondylitis. Although we
highlighted a few safety parameters in a previous blog, the majority of these may
be overcome with care and precision during your application. The science behind
iontophoresis has been studied since 1747 and we now must take this delivery
system seriously.
If cost is now your only deterrent, you
needn’t worry. We have recently been informed by a well-respected
physiotherapist who quotes the price of Iontophoresis at $16.22 per dose.
Included in this quoted price is the RRP for the packet of two drugs he uses
(Dexa and Lignocaine) at $152.30 and $47.90 respectively and the electrodes
($149 for 12). However the initial up front cost for the machine was quoted at
$469.10. This initial outlay for the machine may be overcome, as Iontophoresis
is a long term, reliable method of drug delivery and its support will only grow
as time passes.
There we have it bloggers, we hope that we
have informed you about everything Iontophoretic. If you have any further
questions don’t hesitate to reply to our blogs.
Does your contact use Dexa and Lignocaine under the same electrode, because you know the polarities oppose each other - CY
