Abstract Analgesics give relief pain without blocking the conduction of nerve impulse or altering the function of the sensory apparatus. In forensic autopsy case, the forensic pathologist may require a complete toxicological investigation for different poisons including analgesics. The samples have to be analyzed by the Forensic Toxicologist/Chemists/ Scientist. This article deals with the screening/spot test for analgesics. It attempts to simplify the standard procedures in a step-wise manner, which can be of handy reference for the forensic toxicologist.This article is in continuation of Screening/spot/colour test of anti-depresents, Journal of Forensic Chemistry and Toxicology, Volume 2 Number 1,January – june 2016.
