Benzonatate (Generic Tessalon)

What is Benzonatate?

Benzonatate is a non-narcotic oral medication, commonly recognized for its role in providing symptomatic relief for patients experiencing coughing associated with various respiratory conditions. It works by anesthetizing certain receptors in the lungs and airways, thus reducing the cough reflex and providing comfort.

What is Benzonatate used to treat?

Benzonatate is utilized to alleviate symptoms of a cough brought on by the common cold, bronchitis, pneumonia, and other respiratory conditions. Its primary function is to suppress the cough reflex, resulting in relief from persistent and disruptive coughing spells, enabling better rest and recovery.

What are the common side effects of Benzonatate?

While Benzonatate is generally well-tolerated, it can cause certain side effects. Some of the most common include drowsiness, headache, constipation, nausea or upset stomach. More serious side effects, although rare, include allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.
