IONTOPHORESIS: AN APPROACH TO DRUG DELIVERY ENHANCEMENT
The skin has been used as a medium for systemic delivery of therapeutic agents. The resistance provided by the stratum corneum is the major barrier in delivering of the agents through skin. Due to this the number of drug molecules used under this category is limited. Iontophoresis is an efficient technique for physically enhancing conveyance of molecules across skin for local and systemic effects....

A COMPLETE GUIDE ON THE PHARMACOLOGIC AND PHARMACOTHERAPEUTIC ASPECTS OF CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS: AN EXTENSIVE REVIEW
The calcium channel blockers, a diverse group of cardiovascular drugs, exert their action by inhibiting the L-type calcium channels and cause vasodilatation in the heart and the smooth muscles. They also block the action potential at the SA and AV node, thus prolonging the duration of the action potential (Verapamil and Diltiazem). Although, the calcium channel blockers have the same anti-hyperten...
