Popis: A procedure was developed and validated for measuring chlorpheniramine maleate and tincture ipecac (as emetine hydrochloride) by reversed-phase liquid chromatography with methanol–10mM sodium heptanesulfonate (20 + 30) as the mobile phase; the pH was adjusted to 4 with acetic acid, and the flow rate was at 1.5 mL/min, with ultraviolet detection at 254 nm. Propyl paraben was used as the internal standard. The standard curves were linear (r = 0.998 and 0.9998) for both chlorpheniramine maleate and emetine hydrochlo-ride over the ranges of 5–100 and 0.1–40 μg/mL, respectively. The mean recoveries ± standard deviation were 101.37 ± 2.77% for chlorpheniramine maleate and 98.8 ± 1.47% for emetine hydrochlo-ride. The proposed method was applied to the determination of chlorpheniramine maleate alone in tablet and syrup dosage forms. The method also was applied to the determination of the emetine content of ipecac liquid extract and tincture ipecac; the results were compared with those of the method of the British Pharmacopoeia. The proposed method was applied successfully to the simultaneous determination of chlorpheniramine maleate and tincture ipecac, as emetine hydrochlo-ride, in syrup dosage form. Both drugs and the internal standard were separated from all interfering components in
