A method was established for simultaneous valuation of Nebivolol hydrochloride (NBH) and Hydrochlorothiazide (HYT) from the tablet dosage form by partial simultaneous equation method, the method was found to be sensitive and accurate. The maxima of both the drugs were noted in 0.1 N hydrochloric acid. The NBH has lambda maxima at 283 nm and HYT at 270 and 320 nm. As NBH shows no absorbances at 320nm. So effective wavelengths designated were 283 nm and 270 nm for Method I, 283 nm, and 320 nm for
