UV Spectrophotometric method for estimation of Lercanidipine hydrochloride in tablet dosage form

A new, simple, specific, sensitive, rapid and economical procedure has been developed for the estimation of Lercanidipine hydrochloride in its dosage form. The method is based on the ultraviolet absorbance maxima of the above drug at 356 nm. The drug obeyed Beer's law in the concentration range of 4–24μg/ml. The proposed methods were successfully applied for the determination of drug in commercial drug preparations. The results of the analysis have been validated statistically and by recovery studies.
