Abstract
This paper presents a study in the electrochemical methods for the preparation of three new electrodes of
Fexofenadine hydrochloride in a polymeric membrane. The first electrode was prepared from ion pair: molybdophosphoric
acid reagent and fexofenadine cation with Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBPH), the subsequent electrode was prepared with O-Nitro
phenyl octyl ether (NPOE) and the third electrode was set up by Tri-n-butyl phthalate (TBP), respectively as plasticizer for
determination of Fexofenadine hydrochloride drug. Two electrodes indicated a Nernstian response with a slope of [57.01,
56.70] mV. decade

pH range (2.0-4.5), (2.5-4.0), and (2.0- 4.0) for Fexofenadine hydrochloride electrodes, respectively. The impact of interfering
species was insignificant as demonstrated by selectivity coefficient values. The viability of the electrodes FEX -MPA -DBPH,
FEX -MPA -NPOE, and FEX -MPA -TBP proceeded in a timeframe (41,36, and 13) days, respectively. The recommended
electrodes were successfully used for the determination of Fexofenadine hydrochloride in pure form and pharmaceuticals
preparations. This work arrived at excellent outcomes as far as the linearity, and selectivity of the methods.

1. Introduction
The expanding interest in chemical observation
in environmental assurance, medication and
numerous mechanical cycles have made the
requirement for sensors with highlights like high
selectivity, affectability, dependability, toughness,
the feasibility of automation and remote sensing
ability. These requests can regularly be fulfilled by
ion selective electrodes ISEs, which are generally
applied attributable to their straightforwardness, low
coast and quick arrangement of analytical
outcomes[1].

antihistamine drug utilized in the fix of roughage
fever and comparative sensitivity manifestations [5-
8]. It was made as a substitution of and substitute to
terfenadine, an antihistamine with perhaps authentic
contraindications. Fexofenadine hydrochloride, like
other second and third-age antihistamines, doesn't
clearly cross the blood-frontal cortex limit, thusly
causes less laziness than interesting histamine-
receptor enemies. It works by being an adversary to
the H1 receptor. It has been named as both second-
