Why is Tessalon prescribed?

Tessalon (Benzonatate) is often used to relieve coughing associated with the common cold or bronchitis.

What does it do?

It helps by soothing your cough reflex and is part of a class of drugs known as cough suppressants.

How should I take it?

Take Benzonatate orally with a glass of water, following the instructions on the prescription label. Do not chew, break, or suck on the capsule, as this may lead to serious side effects. Be sure to take the medication at consistent intervals.

What if I missed a dose?

If a dose is missed, take it immediately unless it’s close to the time for your next dose. Do not take extra doses.

What are the special precautions before taking Tessalon?

It is important to tell your doctor if you currently have or have previously had any of the following conditions:

• Liver disease
• Kidney disease
• If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant
• If you are breastfeeding

Benzonatate is not approved for use in children under 10 years old. An overdose can be deadly, especially if a young child accidentally swallows the medication.

Do not dissolve, cut, break, chew, or crush benzonatate capsules, as this can cause numbness in your mouth and throat. If this happens, avoid eating or drinking until the numbness fades.

Benzonatate may also impair your alertness and coordination, so avoid performing tasks that require focus until you understand how the medication affects you.

Does it have any side effects?

It is important to note that all drugs have corresponding side effects and adverse reactions. Additional information may be obtained when you ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following side effects:

Some side effects are less serious but should be reported if they become bothersome, including:

• Dizziness
• Drowsiness
• Burning or tingling sensations in the tongue, throat, or face

This is not a complete list of side effects. For any concerns or medical advice, please consult your doctor.

Is it safe to take it with another drug?

Taking Benzonatate with other medications that cause drowsiness can increase this side effect. Be sure to consult your doctor before using any of the following medications:

• Sleeping aids
• Opioid painkillers
• Muscle relaxants
• Or treatments for anxiety or seizures

Benzonatate can also interact with various drugs, including prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and herbal supplements. It is important to disclose all medications you are taking to your physician, including any additions or discontinuations.

How should I store it?

What action should I take in case of overdose?

If you think you’ve ingested a higher dose of Benzonatate than prescribed, contact emergency medical services right away as it can cause tremors, cardiac arrest as sign and symptoms.
