Forced degradation studies and stability indicating method were developed for the estimation of Favipiravir by reverse phase High performance liquid chromatography in active Pharmaceutical ingredient and its tablet dosage form. The method was achieved by using C18 column (250 X 4.6mm X 4µm) with mobile phase mixture ortho phosphoric acid and acetonitrile in the ratio 60:40. The mobile phase was allowed to pump with the flow rate 1ml/min by maintaining detection wavelength at 324nm using ultra-violet detector. Favipiravir drug was subjected to various stress conditions according to International Conference of Harmonization Q1A(R2) guidelines to establish stability indicating method. Favipiravir drug was found to be sensitive at peroxide degradation. The impurity peak was characterized by mass spectral studies. The method was validated for analytical standards such as linearity, accuracy, Precision, sensitivity and robustness. A rapid and sensitive method was developed for the estimation of favipiravir which indicates its stability indicating behavior.
