The invention belongs to the field of Chinese medicine analysis and particularly relates to a content measurement method for Chinese patent medicine prepared from sweet wormwood, honeysuckle and gardenia jasminoides fruit. The method measures the content of nine ingredients including neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, geniposide, secoxyloganin, isochlorogenic acid B, isochlorogenic acid A and isochlorogenic acid C in the Chinese patent medicine by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography, wherein the chromatographic conditions include: a chromatographic column is C18 column methanol or acetonitrile is used as a flowing phase A 0.05-to-1.0 percent phosphoric acid or 0.05-to-1.0 percent acetic acid is used a flowing phase B the total percentage of flowing phases A and B is 100 percent and gradient elute is performed. The content measurement method has high repeatability and the method completely reflects the main ingredients and the change of the main ingredient content of the medicine from a qualitative prospect respectively and thus improves the level of the control over the quality of the medicine.
