Benzotyle Capsule contains Benzonatate (100 mg) + Excipients q.s., a non-narcotic cough suppressant used to relieve coughing caused by respiratory conditions such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and the common cold. It works by numbing the throat and lungs, reducing the cough reflex at its source. This helps minimize persistent and irritating coughs, allowing for easier breathing and improved comfort.
Benzotyle Capsule is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing dry, unproductive coughs that disrupt daily activities or sleep. Unlike opioid-based cough suppressants, Benzonatate does not cause drowsiness or dependence, making it a safer alternative for long-term use.
Upon ingestion, the capsule quickly absorbs into the bloodstream, providing relief within 15–20 minutes, with effects lasting for up to 8 hours. It is essential to swallow the capsule whole and avoid chewing, as breaking it open may cause numbing of the mouth and throat, leading to difficulty in swallowing or breathing.
Patients with asthma, chronic respiratory diseases, or severe allergies should consult their healthcare provider before using Benzotyle Capsule. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also seek medical advice prior to use. Regular monitoring may be required for individuals with pre-existing lung conditions to ensure safe and effective treatment.
For best results, Benzotyle Capsule should be used in combination with proper hydration, rest, and other supportive treatments. It is important to avoid consuming alcohol while taking this medication, as it may increase dizziness or impair alertness.
