Hello
Monocef-O contains cefpodoxime proxetil.Cefpodoxime has been assigned to pregnancy category B by the FDA.
It should only be prescribed during pregnancy when need has been clearly established.There is no established toxicity to animal in trails.
So,it is not expected to cause any side effects to fetus.
Thyroxine is rightly prescribed as T4 level is borderline.In pregnancy,there is increased demand of thyroxine,so it is rightly prescribed,She should take it in morning in empty stomach.
Wish a happy and safe pregnancy.
Take Care
