An apparatus for delivering a beneficial agent to a surrounding area comprising a first electroactive electrode, a beneficial agent, a second electroactive electrode and an electrical associating member. The first electroactive electrode includes an outer surface, a portion of which is exposable to the surrounding area. The beneficial agent is dispersed within the first electroactive electrode. The second electroactive electrode is associated with the first electroactive electrode. The electrical associating member electrically associates the first electroactive electrode and the second electroactive electrode, to, facilitate corrosion of the exposable surface of the first electroactive electrode, upon exposure of same to the surrounding area, and, in turn the release of the beneficial agent.
