Korteweg-de Vries Burgers (KdVB) equation for magnetosonic wave propagating in the perpendicular direction of the magnetic field is derived for homogeneous electron-ion magneto-plasmas. The dissipation in the system is taken into account through the kinematic viscosity of the ions. The effects of kinematic viscosity of ions, plasma density, and magnetic field strength on the formation of magnetosonic shocks are investigated. It is found that the shock strength is enhanced with the increase in the plasma density of the system. However, the increase in magnetic field strength decreases the amplitude of magnetosonic shock wave. The critical value of the dissipative coefficient to form oscillatory profile and monotonic shock is also discussed. The numerical results have also been plotted by taking the parameters from laboratory plasma experiments.
