%X A simple, specific, accurate and precise reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the simultaneous determination of atorvastatin calcium and amlodipine besylate in tablet dosage forms. A phenomenex Luna C-18, 5 ¦Ìm column having 250 x 4.6 mm i.d. in isocratic mode, with mobile phase containing methanol: acetonitrile: 50 mM KH 2 PO 4 (20:50:30; pH 3.5) was used. The flow rate was 1.0 ml/min and effluent was monitored at 240 nm. The retention time of atorvastatin calcium and amlodipine besylate was 7.6 min and 3.2 min respectively. The linearity for atorvastatin calcium and amlodipine besylate was in the range of 5-120 ¦Ìg/ml and 5-100 ¦Ìg/ml respectively. The proposed method is accurate, precise, specific and rapid for simultaneous estimation of atorvastatin calcium and amlodipine besylate in tablets.
