REPORT DESCRIPTION
Medicine Iontophoresis Market– Overview
Iontophoresis is a technique, which uses an electric current to deliver a medicine or other chemicals
through the skin. Iontophoresis is often suggested for people with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) of the
hands and/or feet as it aids in reducing sweating. Iontophoresis is suitable for applications such as acetic
acid (calcific tendinitis), calcium chloride and magnesium sulfate (control of musculoskeletal spasms),
dexamethasone (inflammation), lidocaine (inflammation of soft tissues), and zinc oxide (rheumatoid
arthritis).
Increasing awareness for treatment of hyperhidrosis is expected to drive growth of the medicine
iontophoresis market. For instance, in the U.S., the International Hyperhidrosis Society (IHhS) IHhS
celebrates the month of November as Hyperhidrosis Awareness Month by making documentaries,
conducting interviews of patients, and organizing various events to raise awareness of hyperhidrosis among
the populace.
