Objective: This study describes the stability-indicating reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for simultaneous estimation of betahistine dihydrochloride and domperidone in pharmaceutical dosage forms.Methods: The proposed RP-HPLC method was developed using Shimadzu Prominence-i LC-2030 HPLC system equipped with UV detector and chromatographic operation was carried on Shim-pack C18 (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μ) column at a flow rate of 1 ml/min and the run time was 10 min. The mobile phase consisted of methanol and water in the ratio of 80:20% v/v and eluents were scanned using a UV detector at 244 nm.Results: The retention time of betahistine dihydrochloride and domperidone was found to be 2.3 and 3.6 min, respectively. A linearity response was observed in the concentration range of 9.6 μg/ml–22.4 μg/ml for betahistine dihydrochloride and 6–14 μg/ml for domperidone, respectively. Limit of detection and limit of quantification for betahistine dihydrochloride were 0.52 μg/ml and 1.58 μg/ml and for domperidone are 0.64 μg/ml and 1.94 μg/ml, respectively.Conclusion: The stability-indicating method was developed by subjecting drugs to stress conditions such as acid and base hydrolysis, oxidation, photo and thermal degradation, and degraded products formed were resolved successfully from samples.
