Abstract

A simple, sensitive, precise and specific UV spectrophotometric method for simultaneous estimation of Metformin HCl and Glimepiride in combined dosage form has been developed. Two wavelengths 233 nm and 228.4 nm were selected for estimation of Metformin HCl and Glimepiride respectively. Acetonitrile was used as solvent for analysis of both the drugs. Linearity was observed in the concentration range of 5–10 μg/ml (r2=0.9992) and 3–18 μg/ml (r2=0.9999) for Metformin HCl and Glimepiride respectively. The method was validated as per ICH guidelines.
