A simple spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of lornoxicam in pharmaceutical tablet dosage form. Lornoxicam exhibiting λ max at 258 nm in mobile phase (0.05 M NaOH) and obeyed linearity in the concentration range of 5-30mcg. The proposed method was statistically validated.
