BENZONATATE
Benzonatate, a non-narcotic oral antitussive agent, is 2, 5, 8, 11,
14, 17, 20, 23, 26-
nonaoxaoctacosan-28-yl p-(butylamino) benzoate; with a molecular
weight of 603.7.
[Chemical Structure]
Each soft gelatin capsule, for oral administration, contains 100 mg,
150 mg or 200 mg
of benzonatate USP. Benzonatate Capsules, USP also contain the
following inactive
ingredients: D&C Yellow #10, gelatin, glycerin, purified water,
methylparaben,
propylparaben and titanium dioxide
Benzonatate acts peripherally by anesthetizing the stretch receptors
located in the
respiratory passages, lungs, and pleura by dampening their activity
and thereby
reducing the cough reflex at its source. It begins to act within 15 to
20 minutes and its
effect lasts for 3 to 8 hours. Benzonatate has no inhibitory effect on
the respiratory
center in recommended dosage.
Benzonatate USP is indicated for the symptomatic relief of cough.
Hypersensitivity to benzonatate or related compounds.
Hypersensitivity
Severe hypersensitivity reactions (including bronchospasm,
laryngospasm and
cardiovascular collapse) have been reported which are possibly related
to local
anesthesia from sucking or chewing the capsule instead of swallowing
it. Severe
reactions have required intervention with vasopressor agents and
supportive measures.
Psychiatric Effects
Isolated instances of bizarre behavior, including mental confusion and
visual
hallucinations, have also been reported in patients taking benzonatate
in combination
with other prescribed drugs.
Accidental Ingestion and Death in Children
Keep benzonatate capsules out of reach of children. Accidental
ingestion of benzonatate
resulting in death has been reported in children below age 10. Signs
and symptoms of
overdose have been reported within 15-20 minutes and death has been
reported within
one hour of ingestion. If accidental ingestion occurs, seek medical
attention immediately
(see OVERDOSAGE).
Benzonatate is chemically related to anesthetic agents of
