The aim of this study is to compare three different dissolution methods assess the drug release from oral lyophilisates, based on interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPECs). IPECs were prepared by mixing solutions a linear polymer, Eudragit® EPO, with polymer cross-linked structure, Noveon® AA-1 or Carbopol® 10 Ultrez (in ratios 1:2 and 1:1, respectively). Metformin metronidazole used as model drug...
