General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear Ma'am,
Hi & Welcome.
I appreciate your concern for the time of antibiotic intake during the holy month of Ramadaan.

Yes, it can be taken early in the morning and late at night.
The dosage of Monocef O CV (Cefpodoxime, Clavulanic Acid) in the treatment of respiratory tract infection is 200 mg to be taken twice daily (12 hrs apart).

Since you have been fasting during the holy month of Ramadaan, you can take the prescribed medication just before the "sahoor" (the early morning breakfast) and after the "iftaar" (breakfast after the sunset).

Hope to have answered your query.

Best regards.
