Monocef-O 200mg tablet is an antibiotic medication that is used to treat bacterial infections such as pneumonia, bronchitis, urinary tract infections, and infections of the skin, nose, and throat. The primary active ingredient of Monocef O is cefpodoxime, which works by killing bacteria and preventing the infection from spreading further.
