Providing Patients with an Effective Iontophoresis Solution: Our Partnership with Rikshospitalet Clinic in Oslo

In early 2018, Hidroxa was approached by a dermatologist from the Rikshospitalet clinic in Oslo, who was interested in providing iontophoresis treatment for their patients with hyperhidrosis and requested a demonstration of our machine.

We visited the hospital in Oslo and demonstrated the iontophoresis machine.They thought it was an excellent alternative to injection treatment due to the high cost and the resources needed to give repeated injections to patients at the clinic several times a year. In addition, iontophoresis is considered a favorable alternative to anticholinergic medication, such as Dridase, Oxybutynin, or Glycopyrrolate, as these pills can have varying levels of adverse side effects, including cognitive impairment, and may not be tolerated by all patients.

Soon after our meeting, the collaboration started. Initially, they started offering treatment only in the clinic. Still, they quickly switched to training the patient in one appointment with the nurse at the clinic and then allowing the patient to continue the treatment independently at home. Patients borrowed a machine through the medical aid center. If the patient was not satisfied with the outcome of the iontophoresis treatment, he could return the device to the hospital, and it would be available to another patient. For questions that arise, nurses and patients could turn directly to Hidroxa for advice, which also relieves the clinic. I also conduct training with the medical aid center staff on how the machine works and with healthcare personnel on medical questions that may arise during treatment.

Since 2018, more and more Norwegian hospitals have contacted us and started similar collaborations. This is a cost-effective solution for clinics due to the price and the fact that the method requires minimal time from hospital staff. The long distance to the nearest skin clinic is no longer a concern for patients who live further away, as the iontophoresis treatment can be performed by the patients themselves at home.
