The main moto of the present study is to evaluate anticonvulsant property Ficus carica fruits in Swiss albino mice using Maximal electroshock seizures (MES) model. Animals were divided into 5 groups n=6 each Phenytoin (25 mg/kg i.p) as standard drug. Aqueous extract was given at three doses 250 mg/kg, 500 and 750 p.o. test samples had been one hour prior induction convulsions. reveals that aqueous p.o significantly reduced duration tonic hind limb extension (THLE) (P<0.001, P<0.01, P<0.05) a dose dependent manner compared vehicle control. body weight found have much similar like (Standard drug). As result foregoing findings, considerable activity
