In this study we have tested several methods to analyze ketoconazole in various pharmaceutical products containing this drug, employing techniques such as UV and IR spectrophotometry and thermal analysis. The results showed that UV spectrophotometry is a fast, practical and economical method and indicated that other methods, such as IR spectrophotometry and thermal analysis, could be good alternative methods for ketoconazole analysis in certain pharmaceutical forms.161-165porAnalytical methodsAntifungalKetoconazoleSpectrophotometric analysisThermal analysisketoconazoleanalytic methoddrug determinationdrug dosage forminfrared spectrophotometrythermal analysisultraviolet spectrophotometryArtigoAcesso aberto2-s2.0-786498745662-s2.0-78649874566.pdf97343336079754130000-0003-4141-0455
