Abstract A simple, rapid and validated HPLC method was developed for determination of Piracetam in film coated tablets. A Lichrosorb® (RP-18 column with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile – phosphate buffer (5:95v/v)) was used. Quantitative evaluation was performed at 205 nm. The HPLC method is selective, precise and accurate and can be used for routine analysis of preparations in pharmaceutical industry quality control laboratories.
