Abstract

Sibutramine hydrochloride and Topiramate are pharmacological agents with distinct therapeutic roles but a potential for complementary application. Sibutramine hydrochloride, a centrally acting serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, was primarily used as an anti-obesity agent due to its appetite-suppressing effects, though its use has declined owing to cardiovascular safety concerns. Topiramate, an anticonvulsant with multiple mechanisms including modulation of voltage-gated ion channels, enhancement of GABAergic activity, and inhibition of carbonic anhydrase, has been effectively employed in epilepsy, migraine prophylaxis, and weight management. Recent studies have explored their combined therapeutic potential in the management of obesity and related metabolic disorders, as Topiramate may enhance weight reduction and mitigate some adverse effects associated with Sibutramine. Analytical development for simultaneous estimation of these drugs is crucial for pharmaceutical formulation research, ensuring accuracy, precision, and regulatory compliance in accordance with ICH guidelines. The integration of pharmacological insights with validated analytical methods supports further investigation into their synergistic use and safe therapeutic application.
