Quantification of Benazepril Hydrochloride and Hydrochlorothiazide in Tablet Dosage Form by Simultaneous Equation Spectrophotometric Method

Abstract

Simple, accurate, precise, reproducible, requiring no prior separation, and economical procedures for simultaneous estimation of benazepril hydrochloride (BEN) and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) in tablet dosage form have been developed. Simultaneous equation method employs for estimation of both drugs in methanol at 240 nm and 270 nm as two analytical wavelengths. BEN and HCT at their respective λ max (240 nm and 270 nm) show linearity in a concentration range of 2–12 μ g/mL and 4–14 μ g/mL. Recovery studies for BEN are 100.0–100.6% and 99.8–100.0% for HCT in the case of simultaneous equation method confirming the accuracy of the proposed method. The proposed method is recommended for routine analysis since it is rapid, simple, accurate and also sensitive and specific.
