The results showed that AZ had a synergistic effect on iontophoretic ability to enhance skin permeation of insulin, and PG could further increase this effect. 5% AZ / PG increased the iontophoretic steady state flux of insulin by a factor of 2.75 compared to that treated with iontophoresis alone. OA did not further enhance iontophoretic effect to increase skin permeation of insulin.
