Iontophoresis Device Controlling Amounts of a Sleep-Inducing Agent and a Stimulant to be Administered and Time at Which the Drugs are Administered
First Claim
1. An iontophoresis device comprising:
- an electric power source device;
drug administration device including at least two or more electrode assemblies each holding an ionic drug, the drug administration device coupled to the electric power source device; and
current control device to control current flowing to respective ones of the electrode assemblies,an amount of the ionic drug is releasable from each of the electrode assemblies at a defined time when transdermally administered to an organism in accordance with the current flowing from the current control device, whereinat least one of the two or more electrode assemblies holds a sleep-inducing agent as the ionic drug, and at least another one of the two or more electrode assemblies holds a stimulant as the ionic drug.

Abstract
An iontophoresis device includes an electric power source device, a drug administration device and a current control device. The drug administration device may include at least two or more electrode assemblies each holding an ionic drug. The drug administration device may be coupled to the electric power source device. The current control device may control current flowing to respective ones of the electrode assemblies. An amount of the ionic drug is releasable from each of the electrode assemblies at a defined time when transdermally administered to an organism in accordance with the current flowing from the current control device, wherein at least one of the two or more electrode assemblies holds a sleep-inducing agent as the ionic drug, and at least another one of the two or more electrode assemblies holds a stimulant as the ionic drug.
