<abstract xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">A simple, sensitive and precise RP-HPLC-DAD method was developed and validated for the determination of olmesartan medoxomil (AT-II receptor blocker) in the presence of its degradation products. Olmesartan medoxomil and all the degradation products were resolved on a C18 column with the mobile phase composed of methanol, acetonitrile and water (60:15:25, <italic>V/V/V</italic>, pH 3.5 by orthophosphoric acid) at 260 nm using a photodiode array detector. The method was linear over the concentration range of 1-18 μg mL-1 and precise with RSD &lt; 1 % in intra- and inter-day study. Excellent recoveries of 99.3 ± 0.9 to 100.8 ± 1.2% proved the accuracy of the method.

No significant thermal or photolytic degradation was observed in solid drug. The method was applied successfully for the assay of olmesartan medoxomil in the tablet dosage form.</abstract>
