Dressings made from polyvinyl alcohol (PAV) and Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) with the addition of glycerol (GLY) differ in adhesiveness and the time of wash out in water, both characteristics depended on polymer and GLY concentration. The research on the release speed which is applied in topical therapy of chlorhexidine digluconate antiseptic in biopharmaceutical model proved the existence of close to rectilinear relation between the amount of released substance and release time for selected formulations.
