Abstract
This invention relates to modified electrodes their manufacture and use, to electro-release systems including such electrodes for electro-release of compounds, for example medical or veterinary pharmaceutical compounds, and to methods for electro-release. By electro-release is meant that the electrochemical release of the compound, or the inhibition of such release, is caused by the application of an appropriate voltage bias to an electrode. Such a system allows accurate control of timing and/or amount of release.
