Generation I to II
When used from the Bag on a Pokémon, adds 2560 HP Stat Experience to the target Pokémon per use, until it has 25600 HP Stat Experience. In Generation II, it also increases the Pokémon's friendship a little.
The HP Up is consumed upon use and cannot be used in battle.
Generation III to VII
When used from the Bag on a Pokémon, adds 10 HP EVs to the target Pokémon per use, until it has 100 HP EVs. It also increases the Pokémon's friendship a little.

Pokémon the Series
In The Clubsplosion Begins!, a full set of vitamins (excluding PP Up and PP Max) was announced to be the prize for winning the Clubsplosion, like how the set of wings was the prize for the Club Battle. They were eventually won by Stephan.
In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
In Wartortle Wars, Red tried to use an "HP Up" sold to him by Green on Pika, but, like with all the other items she had sold him, it proved to be fake and ineffective.
In Weavile Wobbles But It Won't Fall Down, several kinds of vitamins were seen being sold at the Safari Zone Gate.
Trivia
- HP Up appears to be consumable by humans, as indicated by a Hiker on Johto Route 45 saying that he drinks it.
