Abstract

Illegal addition of steroids into cosmetics, ointments or drugs have been increased and their careless usage induced detrimental effect on health. We developed simultaneous analytical method using TLC, HPLC and LC/MS for the identification of 40 corticosteroids. 34 corticosteroids were well separated in HPLC with isocratic mode and remaining 6 drugs were also separated with gradient mode. All of the 40 corticosteroids were detected in negative mode in LC/MS. Halcinonide, prednisolone, triamcinolone acetonide and methylprednisolone hemisuccinate were detected in real samples.
