Abstract
A convenient spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of dimenhydrinate in bulk drug and dosage forms and in 1:1 combinations with aspirin, acetaminophen, meprobamate, phenylephrine, and tolbutamide. The method consisted of reacting dimenhydrinate with reinecke salt in an acidic medium at 27 ± 2°. The purple precipitate was filtered and dissolved in acetone, and the maximum color absorption attained in 15min was measured at 540nm. Evidence is provided to establish the optimal experimental parameters. The stoichiometric balance of the precipitate was determined. Reasonably ideal adherence of the color absorption pattern to the Beer-Lambert law permitted microdetermination of dimenhydrinate in pure form, commercial formulations, laboratory-made combinations, and recovery experiments with good accuracy and repeatability. No interference was observed with any of the drugs or tablet adjuvants.
