Benz Pearls Capsule belongs to a class of medication called an anti-tussive (relieve cough) primarily used to treat dry cough. A cough is a reflex action that helps to clear any foreign irritant or mucus in the throat. Mostly, a cough lasts for a short time (two to three weeks), so it is acute. But sometimes, if it is persistent for more than eight weeks, it can lead to chronic cough. Dry cough refers to a cough where there is no mucus or secretion along with cough.

Benz Pearls Capsule contains Benzonatate, which acts peripherally by anaesthetizing the stretch receptors located in the respiratory tract, lungs, and pleura by dampening their activity and reducing the cough reflex at its source. Usually, Benz Pearls Capsule is prescribed for the short-term treatment of dry cough. It does not treat chronic coughs caused by smoking, emphysema, or asthma.
