The present manuscript describes simple, sensitive, rapid, accurate, precise and economical spectrophotometric method for the simultaneous determination of Eperisone hydrochloride and Aceclofenac sodium in mixture. The method is based on the simultaneous equations for analysis of both the drugs using methanol as solvent. Eperisone hydrochloride has absorbance maxima at 255 nm and Aceclofenac sodium has absorbance maxima at 275 nm in methanol. The linearity was obtained in the concentration range of 4-20 μg/ml and 4-20 μg/ml for Eperisone hydrochloride and Aceclofenac sodium, respectively. The concentrations of both drugs in synthetic mixture were determined by using simultaneous equations. The mean recovery was 100.34 ± 0.27 and 100.64 ± 0.71 for Eperisone hydrochloride and Aceclofenac sodium, respectively. The method was applied for the determination of these drugs in mixture. The suitability of this method for the quantitative determination of Eperisone hydrochloride and Aceclofenac sodium was proved by evaluating different validation parameters. The proposed method was found to be simple and sensitive for the routine estimation of these drugs in combination. The results of analysis have been validated statistically and by recovery studies.
