%X Pholcodine is an opioid cough suppressant (anti-tussive). The objective of this work was study of various solvents for Pholcodine determination using UV Spectrophotometer and to develop a new method for determination of the Pholcodine by using UV-Visible Spectrophotometer that would be more accurate and cheapest. A number of solvents were used during the study those were methanol, chloroform, water, 0.1N KOH and 0.1N HCL that were soluble in Pholcodine and by using absorbance method at (285¡À1) nm wave length we finds that methanol (r2=0.999) and 0.1N HCL (r2=0.999) are the best solvents for the determination of Pholcodine by using UV Spectrophotometer.
