Abstract
Orthogonal polynomial functions have been used in the simultaneous determination of mixtures of phenytoin and phenobarbitone in pharmaceutical preparations. The mean recovery (9 determinations) and coefficient of variation were 100·0 ± 1·4% for phenobarbitone and 100·0 ± 1·3% for phenytoin. Neither the ΔA method of Pannerden & Fontein nor a ΔA modification of Vierordt's method of two-component analysis gave results of the same accuracy and precision as the proposed method.
