TLDR The method accurately measures finasteride in bulk and dosage forms.

The study developed and validated a simple, specific, and economical UV spectrophotometric method to determine finasteride content in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms. Using methanol as a diluent, the method measured finasteride at a λmax of 255 nm, showing linearity in the range of 2-12 μg/mL with a high correlation coefficient (R²=0.999) and excellent mean recovery (98-99%). The limits of quantification (LOQ) and detection (LOD) were 1.178 μg/mL and 5.40 μg/mL, respectively. The method was validated for linearity, precision, repeatability, and reproducibility according to ICH guidelines, proving suitable for routine analysis of finasteride in both bulk and commercial formulations.
