A simple, sensitive, accurate and precise UV Spectrophotometric method has been developed for quantitative determination of Tramadol Hydrochloride in bulk and tablet formulations. The UV-spectrum was scanned between 220 to 400 nm and 270.5 nm was selected as maximum wavelength for absorption. Tramadol shows molar absorptivity of 1.771×104l/mol/cm and Sandell's sensitivity 0.16927mcg/Sq.cm/0.001-absorbance units. Beer's law was obeyed in the concentration range of 15–170 μg/ml. Results of analysis were validated statistically and by recovery studies.
