UV spectrophotometric method for estimation of famciclovir in pharmaceutical formulation

Abstract

A simple, rapid, sensitive and accurate UV-spectrophotometric method has been developed for the estimation of Famciclovir in pharmaceutical formulation. The method was developed by using 0.1 N HCl as a solvent and absorbance was measured at 312 nm. The drug exhibited the linearity in the concentration range of 2-12 μg/ml with a correlation coefficient of 0.9978. The % recovery of the drug was found to be 98.62 % - 100.5 %. The method was validated as per ICH guidelines. The proposed method is economical and sensitive for the estimation of Famciclovir in bulk and tablet dosage form.
