Benzonatate is a cough suppressant used to relieve coughs caused by various conditions, including:
The common cold
The flu
Bronchitis
Other respiratory illnesses
Post-nasal drip
Allergies
Benz Cap (Benzonatate) works by numbing the stretch receptors in the lungs and airways. This reduces the urge to cough, providing temporary relief from persistent coughing.
Store benzonatate at room temperature, between 15°C and 30°C (59°F and 86°F), away from light and moisture.
The dosage of benzonatate will vary depending on your age, health condition, and the severity of your cough.
- Adults and children 12 years and older: Usually 100mg to 200mg every 8 hours as needed.
- Children 6 to 12 years old: The dosage will be determined by your doctor.
- Children under 6 years old: Benzonatate is not recommended for use in children under 6 years old.
It is important to swallow the capsules whole, do not chew or crush them.
Do not exceed the recommended dosage without consulting your doctor.
