The stoichiometry of the ion-pair complex formed between the dug and dye found to be (1:1) was determined by Job’s method of continuous variations. Various analytical parameters have been evaluated and the results have been validated by statistical data.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The proposed methods were validated in accordance with ICH guidelines and successfully applied to the determination of donepezil hydrochloride in pure and dosage forms. Statistical comparison of the results obtained by applying the proposed methods with those of the reported method revealed good agreement and proved that there was no significant difference in the accuracy and precision between the results.</p><p> </p>}, number={8}, journal={International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences}, author={El Sheikh, Ragaa and Gouda, Ayman A. and Soliman, Hanan}, year={2015}, month={Aug.}, pages={274–281} }
