In this study, the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) was applied to the original absorption spectra and their ratio spectra for the determination of irbesartan (IRB) and hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) in a tablet dosage form. The proposed signal processing methods do not require a preliminary separation procedure. Calibration graphs were obtained by measuring CWT signals of the original spectra and ratio spectra at 243.0 nm and 235.9 nm for IRB and 273.8 nm and 262.8 nm for HCT, respectively. The validation of the proposed CWT methods was performed by using recovery studies, standard addition experiments and inter-day and intra-day analyses. The proposed CWT signal processing methods were successfully applied to the simultaneous quantitative estimation of IRB and HCT in tablets.
