Abstract

Rapid second derivative spectrophotometric assay procedure is described for the simultaneous determination of niclosamide and thiabendazole in a pharmaceutical preparation. In this method the derivative absorbances were measured at 354,0 nm for niclosamide and at 242,5 nm for thiabendazole. The method has been applied succesfully to a tablet containing niclosamide and thiabendazole. The relative standard deviation of the method was found to be 1,19% for niclosamide and 0,51% for thiabendazole.
