An iontophoresis device may be capable of preventing the generation of gas
or ions upon energization, and/or may be capable of preventing the
alteration of active agent ions due to an electrode reaction.
Energization from an electrode to an active agent reservoir may be
performed through an ionic liquid. The ionic liquid may include an anion
such as PF6-, BF4-, AlCl4-, ClO4-, a hydrogen sulfate ion,
bis-trifluoro-alkyl-sulfonyl-imide, or trifluoro-methane-sulfonate, and a
cation such as an imidazolium derivative, a pyridinium derivative, a
piperidinium derivative, a pyrolidinium derivative, and a
tetra-alkyl-ammonium derivative.
