Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic drug. Pseudoephedrine shows sympathomimetic activity and is used in the treatment of nasal congestion in cold and allergic rhinitis. Combination dosage forms of naproxen sodium and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride are used for symptomatic treatment of cold and sinus disorders. According to the literature, no spectrophotometric method has been reported for simultaneous determination of these drugs. As there is a large overlap between the zero order spectra of these drugs, first-order to fourth-order derivative spectra of the drugs were examined to find out suitable wavelengths for simultaneous determination. Fourth-order derivative spectra has been used for simultaneous determination of naproxen sodium and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride. The fourth-order derivative value at 316 nm and 221 nm were used for the determination of naproxen sodium and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, respectively. The method was linear over the range of 2-28 μg/ml for pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and 4-200 μg/ml for naproxen sodium. The within-day and between-day coefficient of variation values were less than 5.8% and 2.5% for pseudoephedrine hydrochlorice and naproxen sodium, respectively. The applicability of the proposed method for the simultaneous determination of naproxen and pseudoephedrine in dosage forms has been demonstrated without any special pretreatment.

If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. : I have met Dr Majid Moridani, the chairman of the conference, who is an iranian scientist working in Froedtert and Medical College of Wisconsin, USA.
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : Everything in the conference was according to the scadual. The registration desk was open early in the morning and through the confernce. The organizers were available for any question about the hanging of the poster and any other recommndations which was needed. The attendence certifcate was also given to the participants on time and there is not anything to be followed.
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : The best way to travel to Dubai is using the tour packages, as we can have the ticket, accommodation, visa and transfer together.
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : This conference was not very crowded. About 70-80 person were paticipated in this conference. The conference was held in Motropolitan Palace Hotel in Dubai. As the number of participants were not too much, there was a friendly atmosphere and the participants could talk and discuss with each other.
