Abstract

Various new drugs are being introduced in the market. This proves a hectic problem for Toxicologist to identify the exact nature of the drug and its metabolites in the viscera for cases involving death due to drug poisoning. When a case is taken for drug analysis, we have to be more exhaustive in ruling out drugs. For identification of Inderal tablets, a new Thin Layer chromatography system has been developed. After systematic trials, the paper has found out a new solvent system with spray for eluting Inderal tablets.
