Pantoprazole is a gastric proton pump inhibitor. Pantoprazole is used for short-term treatment of erosion and ulceration of the esophagus caused by gastro esophageal reflux disease. In present work, a simple, sensitive, accurate and economical spectrophotometric method has been described for the assay of pantoprazole either in pure form or in pharmaceutical solid dosage form. An absorption maximum of Pantoprazole was found to be at 289 nm. Beer’s law is obeyed in the range 3-21 μg/mL with correlation coefficient of 0.997. Result of percentage recovery of Pantoprazole sodium ranges from 99.7 to 100.8% in Pharmaceutical dosage form. Results of the analysis were found to be satisfactory. The proposed methods are simple, rapid and suitable for the routine quality control application.
