A sensitive and green micellar spectrofluorimetric approach was applied for the simultaneous estimation of ivabradine hydrochloride (IVB) and felodipine (FLD) in the ng/ml concentration range. The approach depended on measuring the first derivative synchronous peak amplitude (1 D) of both drugs at ∆λ = 60 nm in a Tween-80 micellar system. The method was rectilinear alongside the concentration ranges 0.02-0.4 μg/ml and 0.05-1.0 μg/ml at 269.5 nm and 378.5 nm for IVB and FLD, respectively. The proposed method was validated by following the International Council for Harmonization guidelines. The method was successfully applied without interference for laboratory-prepared synthetic mixtures, single pharmaceutical preparations, and within spiked biological fluids with acceptable percentage recoveries. A comparison of the performance of the suggested method with other methods, showed no discrepancy. The method's ecofriendly property evaluated using three different tools, confirming an excellent green method.
