Citrus medica (Rutaceae) commonly known Bada nimbu and it is available in allover India. Literature survey revealed that this plant reported for the antioxidant activity, antimicrobial activity and anti fungal activity. In this present study we planned to evaluate the anthelmintic activity by using both alcoholic and aqueous leaf extracts. Preliminary phytochemical screening of the both extracts revealed the presence of volatile oils, carbohydrates, glycosides, flavanones, citric oxide and glycosides. From this present study the aqueous and alcoholic extracts of Citrus medica were found to be active as anthelmintic with reference to both the paralysis and death times as compare to the piperazine citrate. The aqueous extract shows more activity than alcoholic extract.
