Benzonatate: Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, and More
From:
$9.39
Benzonatate is a prescription, non-narcotic cough suppressant that numbs the throat and lungs to reduce the cough reflex caused by colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, or other respiratory conditions. It provides cough relief without the drowsiness or dependency risks of codeine-based medications and may be used alone or with other treatments addressing the cough’s underlying cause.

Controlled Substance Warning
Benzonatate is not a controlled substance. It must be swallowed whole—never chewed or dissolved—as this can cause throat numbness, choking, or severe allergic reactions. Accidental ingestion, especially by children, can be fatal and requires immediate medical attention.
