Hi!!!
You need to know properties of these medicines.
For example: Ampicillin has -NH2 and -COOH groups, badly soluble in water, stable in acidic solutions (data from wiki). In this case I would use aqueous solution with low pH to extract ampicillin from oil.
Also it would be usefull to add emulsifer to your oil then extracting

I guess C18 is an option, but I do not familiar with HPLC.
Also you can change retention time of analite with mobile phase.
You can change pH, % of organic in phase, and add some buffer or/and ion-pair solts.
