The aim of our study was to estimate the emptying of the diclofenac SC reservoir after respectively a passive, occlusive and electrically assisted application of diclofenac (DF). Methods: In total 5 different groups, of healthy volunteers (n= 60, 24 male and 37 female), participated in this study. A 1% DF (Voltaren Emulgel®, Novartis) formulation (12mg) was applied on the volar forearms on randomized defined circular skin areas of 7cm2. DF was applied for 20 minutes under 3 different conditions at the same time; passive diffusion under a semi occlusive sponge, an application without occlusion and an iontophoretic application. To estimate the bioavailability of DF in the skin, methyl nicotinate (MN) responses (Minolta Chromameter a* parameter) at the different moments post initial DF application (respectively 1.5, 6, 24, 32, 48, 72, 96, 120 hours) were compared (ANOVA procedure with Bonferroni corrected post-hoc tests). Significant level was set at 5%. Results: At 1.5 hours after the initial DF application a significant decreased response was detected for the occluded and iontophorectically delivery. After 48 hours the iontophoretic DF delivery was no longer significantly reduced (p=0.296). At 72 hours post DF application only the response after the passively delivered DF remained significant (p=0.038). After 96 respectively 120 hours no difference between the MN responses was detected. Conclusion: The formation and emptying of a DF SC reservoir is influenced by the DF application mode.
