hajaae@yahoo.comAbstract
Cephalosporins are the most commonly prescribed β-lactam antibiotics. Spectrophotometry is probably the most convenient analytical technique for routine analysis, because of its inherent simplicity, low cost and wide availability in quality control laboratories. Several papers have been presented in recent years regarding the development and validation for spectrophotometry methods for analysis of cephalosporins in pharmaceutical formulations. In this review article, various spectroscopic methods for analysis of cephalosporins are presented and discussed.
