How It Works

Monocef 125mg Injection is a cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting the formation of bacterial cell walls. Without this protective layer, bacteria cannot survive, allowing the body to fight the infection effectively.

Administration

Given at regular intervals as prescribed.
