Three simple, reliable methods were developed for the simultaneous determination of a mixture of Ambroxol HCl (A) and Guaifenesin (G) in presence of the oxidative degradate (AD) of A and guaicol (GD), the impurity of G . The first method is an isocratic HPLC method, where separation of the four components A, AD, G and GD was achieved on C18 column using water: methanol (80: 20, v/v, containing 1% triethylamine, pH 2.9) with a flow rate of 1.5 ml/min and UV detection at 220nm. A linear relationship in the range of 5-80 μg.ml -1 and 10-150 μg.ml -1 was obtained for A and G, respectively. The second method was a TLC-spectrodensitometric method, where the drugs together with AD and GD were applied on silica gel 60F 254 plates and a mobile phase consisted of chloroform: methanol: ethyl acetate: acetic acid (70: 8: 12:10, by volume) was used for separation.
