Abstract Vitamins A and D were determined simultaneously in oily solutions, ointments, and elixirs, but only vitamin A could be determined in capsules. Samples were saponified with KOH in isopropanol-water, using hydroquinone as antioxidant, and extracted with ether-petroleum ether (1 + 1). After evaporation of solvent, residues were dissolved in isopropanol. Vitamins in these solutions were determined by reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography, using methanol-water as mobile phase and detection at 254 nm. The reproducibility, using external standards, was 1.6-2.5% and 1.2-3.8% for vitamins A and D, respectively.
