ABSTRACT
A simple, precise and accurate isocratic RP-HPLC method have been developed for the simultaneous estimation
of PCM, DCP and FAMO in their combined pharmaceutical dosage form. Chromatographic separation was
achieved on a ODS Hypersil C18 (250 x 4.6 mm i.d., 5μm) column, kept at ambient temperature, using a mobile
phase consisting of 20 mM phosphate buffer (pH 3.5) : methanol (80:20 v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and
UV detection at 217 nm. The linearity was observed in the concentration range of 10-60 μg/mL, 2.5-15 μg/mL
and 1-10 μg/mL for Paracetamol, Diclofenac potassium and Famotidine respectively. The % recovery was
found to be 99.81-101.25%, 99.63-100.85% and 99.63-100.66% for Paracetamol, Diclofenac potassium and
Famotidine respectively. The developed method can be successfully applied in routine quality control analysis.

Specificity Specific
Robustness
Robustness was checked by changing the flow rate, pH
of mobile phase and mobile phase composition. The
%RSD for robustness determination was found to be
less than 2%.
Specificity
There was no interference of mobile phase and excipi-
ents at the retention time of PCM, DCP and FAMO (Fig-
ure 3-5).
