Online published on 16 September, 2020. Abstract Aim and Objective To develop and validate a simple accurate and precise UV-spectrophotometric method to determine the degradation pathway of Oseltamivir in bulk form. Methodology Separation of the drug from its degradation product was achieved by UV and scanned between 200-400nm. Oseltamivir was subjected to stress condition such as acid hydrolysis, alkali hydrolysis, oxidation, photolysis and thermal degradation. The samples were analyzed. Results The maximum absorbance was found at 216nm and found to be linear over the range of 5–30μg/ml with good correlation co-efficient 0.999. Major degradation was observed in photolysis, oxidative and alkali degradation. Conclusion The UV spectrophotometric method for Oseltamivir in the bulk form was developed and validated.
