[ We claim:] [1.] An electrotransport method of delivering an ionic drug D+ comprising the steps of:providing a reservoir comprising DOH dispersed in a polymer gel in electrical communication with an electrochemically active conductive member;contacting said reservoir to the skin of a patient;hydrolyzing water in said reservoir producing hydronium ions;reacting the hydronium ions with the DOH producing an ionic drug, D+; and,electrically transporting D+ through the skin.
