Drug electrophoresis is a method of combined effects on the body of direct current and medicinal substances introduced with it. The procedure is performed while the patient is lying down or sitting. Electrodes with hydrophilic gasket and filter paper coated with a medicinal substance impose on the site of exposure and fixed. The patient feels slightly tingling. The duration of the procedure is 10-40 minutes.
With the help of direct current, you can enter small and large particles of drugs that carry an electric charge. Charged particles are repelled by the electrode and go deep into the skin. Medicinal substances entering from the skin into the blood and lymph circulate throughout the body and affect the tissues that are most sensitive to them. Electrophoresis has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, vasodilator, antispasmodic, sedative and secretory therapeutic effects, as well as specific pharmacological effects of the injected drug.
