Development and validation of a LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous quantification of Ivabradine and Metoprolol in rat plasma.

The combination of Ivabradine (IVA) and Metoprolol (MET) was approved by US-FDA for symptomatic treatment of chronic stable angina pectoris. Hence, a potential analytical method that can simultaneously quantify these two drugs is required. In view of this, a novel and fully validated LC-ESI-MS/MS method has been established for the quantification of IVA and MET in rat plasma.
