A fast, simple and valued method is developed to observe the quality and quantity of different pharmaceutical brands of cefixime. A spectrophotometric method has been developed for analysis of cefixime (CFX) by reacting with 4-dimethylamino benzaldehyde (DAB) as derivatizing agent. The molar absorptivity of CFX-DAB, newly synthesized derivative was calculated as 3.2 x 105 L.mole-1cm-1 and λ maximum was 393 nm. The calibration curve was developed in range of 5-25 µg.mL-1as this concentration followed beers law. The derivatization reaction is stable and didn’t show any difference in absorbance with radiation interaction for up to one day. The percentage recovery of CFX was checked and calculated in different pharmaceuticals was within 95 to 99.5% with RSD value calculated in between RSD 0.69-0.96% (n=3), respectively. This newly developed and validated procedure was proved to be accurate and precise for the analysis of CFX. This method was successfully applied to check amount of CFX from 7 different brands of pharmaceutical preparations commercially available in Pakistan.

The blood pressure is the driven force by which blood moves in a direction against the walls of arteries as it derived by the heart. Normal blood pressure has specific range while an individual with blood pressure towards lower range is very common ailment that is called in medical science as hypotension. In association with these majorities of the people including health science students consider hypotension as an illness which once diagnosed needs to be managed. The objective of this research study is an analysis on the familiarity of the risk factors and life style changes associated with low blood pressure among the health science students of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Medical University (S.M.B.B.M.U), Larkana, Sindh, Pakistan. This descriptive cross-sectional study was proceed by enlisting health science students Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (M.B.B.S) and Bachelor of Dental Surgery (B.D.S) of S.M.B.B.M.U Larkana, Sindh, Pakistan during September 2019 to February 2020. A total of 412 students belongs to the first Prof. to last Prof. M.B.B.S & B.D.S were categorized after the revealed of the superior command and distinctive interrogator for the complications of low blood pressure were noted. The data was analyzed on SPSS Version 24.00 statistical software after defining information in the software. 227/412 (95 M.B.B.S and 132 B.D.S students) considered low blood pressure as a sickness. The students of this institute also agreed that low blood pressure with healthy human’s presents with many complications that required proper management. The data reveals from this research study that majority of the health science students ruminated the low blood pressure as unusual physiological response of the body hence it required serious attention.
