A simple, fast and precise LCMS compatible reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic method is developed for the simultaneous determination ofClinidipine,OlmesartanMedoxomil,Chlorthalidone in pharmaceutical preparations. Chromatographic separation of the three drugs was performed on a Merck Chromolith 4.6 X 50 mm, RP-18e as stationary phase with a mobile phase comprising of Buffer and Methanol in gradient system. Bufferwas 0.1%v/v Formic acid (1ml Formic acid to 1000mlwater.), filtered and degassed. The chromatographic system was run at a flow rate of 0.6mLmin-1 and UV detection at 265nm.Method developed was LCMS compatible and the same was used to identify each drug. The proposed method was validated for linearity, accuracy, precision, LOD, LOQ and can be conveniently adopted for routine quality control and pharmacokinetic analysis.
