spectrophotometric and electrochemical studies were successfully used in quantitative analysis of amitriptyline hydrochloride (ath) and nortriptyline hydrochloride (nth). conductometric titration were carried out in equeous solution using iodide and dopamine and serotonine as titrant. two new methods using spectrophotometry are dascribed for the determination of (ath) and (nth) with potassium b...

BACKGROUND In vitro studies have suggested the corneal cytotoxicity of third-generation fluoroquinolone levofloxacin (LVFX) and fourth-generation fluoroquinolone moxifloxacin hydrochloride (MFLX) among fluoroquinolone antibacterial eye drops. This study investigated the effects of these two eye drops on the human cornea in vivo. METHODS We evaluated 30 healthy adults (19 men and 11 women, 38....
