Abstract : Voltammetric sensors have been prominent as an analytical tool for the electrochemical detection of analytes in biological and pharmaceutical fields for many years. A wide range of studies have steered the development and applications of electrochemical sensors into various areas of research. This chapter discusses the significance of voltammetric sensors in the pharmaceutical field, particularly propranolol hydrochloride (PRO), a β-blocker drug. Propranolol hydrochloride is a well-recognized therapeutic drug that is highly effective in reducing cardiovascular problems. Nevertheless, serious side effects are associated with the use of this drug in patients with Brugada syndrome and in the treatment of hemangioma in infants. This chapter outlines the various strategies adopted by researchers for the electrochemical quantification of PRO from real samples. The chapter is designed to facilitate researchers to understand the advantages and overcome the challenges in the future to develop flexible and portable electrochemical sensors to improve the quality and clinical efficacies of pharmaceuticals.
