Benzonatate:

Benzonatate, also commonly known under its popular brand name of Tessalon, is a medication used in the treatment of coughs and hiccups. It is normally taken by mouth, after which its soothing effects generally begin within 20 minutes and last for up to 8 hours. It is a prescription pharmaceutical product, which is predominantly suitable for everyone, however, manufacturers recommend that it should be used with caution for those under the age of 10. Benzonatate was originally patented by a pharmaceutical products company and subsequently became commercialised on the American medical marketplace in 1958. Currently, benzonatate manufacturers and benzonatate suppliers are free to produce generic versions, due to the expiration of the patent. This has made it cost-effective for distributors to list it available for sale, wholesale, and order at a variety of price points. Where regardless of its small global regulatory approval, it has been successful. With it being the 148th most commonly purchased medication in the United States in 2017, with more than four million prescriptions.

Method of action of benzonatate:

Benzonatate belongs to a group of drugs termed oral antitussives and it is used in the relief and suppression of cough in patients older than ten years of age. It is a non-narcotic antitussive that functions as a local anaesthetic, anaesthetizing and reducing the activity of vagal stretch receptors or nerve fibres located in the respiratory passages, lungs, and pleura. This desensitizes the pulmonary stretch receptors involved in the cough reflex, while also displaying no inhibitory effects on the respiratory centre in therapeutic dosage amount. Allowing for the active prevention of coughing while leaving normal breathing functions intact.

Form and dosage of benzonatate:

As with all drugs, the final form and packaging of benzonatate is dependent on the manufacturers and suppliers, as well as the specific distributor and order. However, benzonatate typically comes in forms including capsules and liquid capsules. The dose is subject to the prescribing medical professionals’ opinion, but it is recommended by manufacturers that adults and children 10 years of age and older take 100 mg three times a day. With not more than 200 mg at once and not surpassing a cumulative 600 mg per day.
