Two simple, precise and accurate derivative spectrophotometric methods have been developed and validated for the simultaneous estimation of Atenolol (ATN) and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) in bulk and pharmaceutical formulation. Method A is Area Under Curve method, which involved the measurement of area between 221 to 231 nm and 265 to 275 nm for the estimation of Atenolol and Hydrochlorothiazide respectively. Method B applied Second order derivative spectrophotometry, which involved measuring the absorbance values at 226 nm and 270 nm of second derivative spectrum, without mutual interference with a linearity range of 2-10 μg/mL and 1-5 μg/mL for the estimation of Atenolol and Hydrochlorothiazide, respectively for both the methods. Results of analysis were statistically reported and were found to be satisfactory
