A simple, accurate and specific NMR procedure is described for the determination of amplicilin and cloxacillin mixtures in injection dosage form and capsules. The solvent was dimethysulfoxde $d_{6}$ and maleic acid was the internal standard. By integrating the peak at 2.68 ppm and 4.57 ppm, cloxacillin and ampicillin could be determined respectively. The relative proton ratio of ampicillin trihydrate and cloxacillin were 1.038 and 0.950. The coefficents of variation of amplicillin trihydrate and cloxacillin in a few commerical preparation were 1.55 % (n =9), 2.69 % (n =15).
