Although investigations on different pharmacological activities of the experimental plant, Ficus sur have been conducted, its folklore use for diuresis has not yet been validated. The current study, therefore, focused on the diuretic activity of aqueous and 80% methanol extracts of F. sur Forssk. leaves in rats.
