DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF A HPLC METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUS QUANTIFICATION OF PARACETAMOL AND METHOCARBAMOL IN TABLETS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To develop and validate a procedure for the simultaneous quantification of Paracetamol and Methocarbamol in tablets by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in order to contribute to drug quality control. Subjects and methods: Quantitative Paracetamol and Methocarbamol by HPLC method with LunaR C18 (4 × 250 mm, 5µm), column temperature 26°C, flow rate 1.0 ml/min, detector UV at 274 nm, injection volume 10 µl, mobile phase consisting of acetonitril and 0.2 % formic acid in water with a gradient program. Results: The validation results for suitability, specificity, linearity, precision, and accuracy showed that this method was conformed to the ICH requirements. Conclusion: The quantitative method meets the requirements and can be used for the simultaneous quantification of Paracetamol and Methocarbamol in tablets.
