Should there be drug specific dissolution methods or tests?

It is a common query as to what should be suggested dissolution test conditions for a drug, XYZ, particularly if the drug XYZ happens to be of low solubility in water. Unfortunately, it is not a valid question. The dissolution tests are primarily conducted for products and not for drugs. Furthermore, even a product does not dictate test conditions because an analyst likes to determine/establish the property (dissolution) of the product itself, which would require an unbiased method. Therefore, a dissolution method should not be product/drug-specific or dependent.
