1. An electrode for an iontophoretic drug delivery system, the electrode comprising:
- a platform;
a conductor being operably connected to the platform, the conductor further being electrically coupled within the iontophoretic drug delivery system;
a dose controller being operably coupled to the conductor; and
a drug delivery matrix being operably connected to the platform and proximate the conductor, wherein the conductor, the drug delivery matrix, and the dose controller cooperate to deliver a drug to a user when the electrode is affixed to the user and operably connected within the iontophoretic drug delivery system, wherein the drug delivery matrix is segmented to cooperate with the conductor to deliver the drug from each segment of the drug delivery matrix at a predetermined dosage.

Abstract
An electrode for an iontophoretic drug delivery system includes a retainer having a malleable characteristic. The retainer and a conductor are connected to a platform. The conductor and a dose controller are electrically coupled to the iontophoretic drug delivery system. A drug delivery matrix is operably connected to the platform and proximate the conductor wherein the conductor, the drug delivery matrix, and the dose controller cooperate to deliver a drug to a user when the electrode is affixed to the user and operably connected to the iontophoretic drug delivery system.
