Abstract
A simple, accurate and precise dual wavelength spectrophotometric method was developed for simultaneous determination of Drotaverine hydrochloride and Aceclofenac in combined pharmaceutical dosage form. The principle for dual wavelength method is “the absorbance difference between two points on the mixture spectra is directly proportional to the concentration of the component of interest”. The wavelengths selected for determination of Drotaverine hydrochloride were 271.5 nm and 280.0 nm, whereas, the wavelengths selected for determination of Aceclofenac were 301.5 nm and 311.0 nm. Methanol was taken as a solvent. Regression analysis of Beer’s plots showed good correlation in concentration range of 8‐32 µg/ml for Drotaverine hydrochloride and 10‐40 µg/ml for Aceclofenac. Accuracy of method was found between 98.33‐101.5%. The precision (intra‐day, inter‐day and repeatability) of method was found within limits. The proposed method was successfully applied to determination of these drugs in commercial tablets.
