Abstract

The present study investigated a UV spectrophotometric method for the determination of mefenamic acid in the tablet formulation. The UV spectrophotometric analysis for mefenamic acid using the suggested methods was performed at 285.0 nm dissolved in 0.1N NaOH with linearity in the concentration range of 5-25 μg/ml. The validation for specificity, precision, robustness and recovery of the method was also performed. The results of the employed methods were found to be simple, linear, precise, accurate and sensitive and can be used for routine quality control analysis for the estimation of mefenamic acid in bulk and tablet dosage form.
