Bolus delivery of palonosetron through skin by tip-loaded dissolving microneedles with short-duration iontophoresis: A potential strategy to rapidly relieve emesis associated with chemotherapy.

The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of the bolus administration of PLS via skin by using dissolving microneedles of palonosetron hydrochloride (PLS-DMNs). Tip-loaded PLS-DMNs were fabricated by a casting method using sodium hyaluronate (HA) as DMNs-forming polymer. PLS-DMNs were shown to have a content of 118.
