| Nature of Peptide/Cargo | Peptides containing closely juxtapositioned cationic and lipohilic residues are able to inhibit their own transport across the skin even under the influence of iontophoretic current. |
| Mechanism | Major mechanism of iontophoretic transdermal delivery of large peptides is the convective solvent flow. |
