What Is Benzonatate 200mg Perles?
Benzonatate perles are soft gelatin capsules containing 200 mg of benzonatate, a non-narcotic cough suppressant sold under the brand name Tessalon Perles. Benzonatate is chemically related to local anesthetics and works by numbing stretch receptors in the lungs and airways, which dampens the cough reflex. It begins working within 15 to 20 minutes and its effect lasts 3 to 8 hours. Because it is not an opioid, it does not carry the same risks of dependence associated with narcotic cough medicines.
