Monocef-O Drops contain cefpodoxime proxetil (25 mg). The activity of this medicine can be explained as follows:

• Inhibits Bacterial Cell Wall Synthesis: Cefpodoxime proxetil works by preventing the bacteria from forming a protective cell wall around itself. This cell wall is crucial for the survival of bacteria as it protects them from the external environment.

• Bactericidal Action: Because of its action on the cell wall, cefpodoxime proxetil causes the bacteria to burst and die. This process is called bactericidal action.

• Broad Spectrum Antibiotic: Cefpodoxime proxetil is effective against a wide range of bacteria, making it a broad-spectrum antibiotic.

• Keep Monocef-O Drops in their original packaging.

• Store them at room temperature, ideally below 25 degrees Celsius.

• Avoid direct sunlight, and do not expose the drops to extreme heat or cold.

• Ensure they are out of reach and sight of children.

• Always check the expiry date on the packaging before giving the medicine to your child.

• If your child is dealing with a bacterial infection managed by Monocef-O Drops, ensuring a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals can help support their immune system. Include plenty of fruits and vegetables in their meals.

• Encourage regular hand washing to prevent further spread of bacteria, especially before meals and after using the toilet. This simple hygiene practice can help manage bacterial infections effectively.
