Smart simple spectrophotometric method was developed for simultaneous detemination of compunds with interfering spectra in binarymixtures without previous separation, showing significant advantages over the conventionalmethods regardingminimumdata manipulation and applicability. The newmethod is based on a modification for the ratio subtraction and derivative ratio methods. This modification enabled wider range of application. The proposed method was applied for the determination of brimonidine and timolol in laboratory prepared mixtures with mean percentage recoveries 100.40 ± 2.29 and 101.23 ± 1.30 respectively, and in their pharmaceutical formulationwithmean percentage recoveries 101.08 ± 0.44 and 100.66 ± 0.52 respectively. The suggested method was validated according to USP 2005 guidelines and can be applied for routine quality control testing.
