About Benz Pearls Capsule

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.

Benz Pearls Capsule is available only with your doctor's prescription. Benz Pearls Capsule  can be taken with or without food. The doctor will decide the dose and duration of Benz Pearls Capsule depending on your condition. The most common side effects of Benz Pearls Capsule are dizziness, drowsiness, sleepiness, confusion, and nausea. Most of these side effects of Benz Pearls Capsule do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Do not take Benz Pearls Capsule if you are allergic to Benzonatate or any other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before starting Benz Pearls Capsule . Benz Pearls Capsule should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. Caution should be exercised when Benz Pearls Capsule is administered to a nursing woman.
