Abstract

A simple and precise spectrophotometric method in ultra violet region has been developed for the estimation of simvastatin in its pharmaceutical dosage forms. Simvastatin exhibited maximum absorbance at 237.8nm in ethanol. It obeys Beer's law in the concentration range of 1-40mcg/ml. Results of the analysis were validated statistically and by recovery studies, repeatability studies.
