A simple flow-injection spectrophotometric method for the determinatio
n of thioridazine is described. The method is based on the oxidation o
f thioridazine with phosphotungstic acid in hydrochloric acidic media.
Concentrations of thioridazine in the range 10-60 ppm are determined
with a relative standard deviation of 1.1 %. The method was applied to
the determination of thioridazine in pharmaceutical formulations.
