A simple, sensitive, rapid, accurate and precise spectrophotometric method has been developed for estimation of acyclovir in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms. Acyclovir shows maximum absorbance at 253 nm with molar absortivity of 1.3733 ×104 l/mol×cm Beer's law was obeyed in the concentration range of 2-20 µg/ml. Results of the analysis were validated statistically and by recovery studies.
