A simple, rapid, sensitive and effective reverse phase ultra performance liquid chromatographic method (RP-UPLC) has been developed and validated an assay for simultaneous quantification of Lamivudine, Abacavir and Dolutegravir in pure and tablet dosage forms. Chromatographic separation was performed by using Waters- Alliance UPLC system equipped with autosampler, PDA detector, zodiac sil RP C18 (4.6×250mm 3.0µm) column, phosphate buffer (pH 3.0) and methanol in the ratio of 30:70 v/v have been delivered at a flow rate of 0.25 mL/min and the detection was carried out using a UV detector at a wavelength 260nm at ambient column temperature. The mobile phase is used as diluent. The retention time (Rt) for Lamivudine, Abacavir and Dolutegravir
