Objective To establish the quality standard for Bazheng Pills. Methods Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, Radix Glycyrrhizae and Fructus Gardeniae in Bazheng Pills were identified by TLC. Geniposide was determined by HPLC. Results Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, Radix Glycyrrhizae and Fructus Gardeniae could be identified by TLC. Geniposide showed a good linear relationship at a range of 0.187 2~ 2.808 0 ng, r=0.999 9.The average recovery was 100.70 % , and RSD was 1.01 % . Conclusion The established methods are simple and with good reproducibility, and can be used for the quality control of Bazheng Pills.
