Tips

Take the capsule whole. Sucking, chewing, crushing, cutting, or breaking open can result in overdosage.

If you experience numbness or tingling in your mouth, do not eat or drink anything until the numbness goes away. If the problem does not resolve, seek medical attention. If you have difficulty breathing, your throat swells, or you have any other symptoms of an allergic reaction, seek immediate medical attention.

Take only as directed. A single dose of 200mg or a total daily dose of 600mg should not be exceeded. If you miss a dose, do not double the next dose; instead, return to your normal dosing schedule.

Keep out of children's reach. If children inadvertently consume benzonatate, seek immediate medical attention. Overdosage symptoms include tremors, convulsions, coma, and heart attack.

Do not give to children under the age of ten.

If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while taking benzonatate, consult your doctor because it may not be safe for you. It is unknown whether breastfeeding is safe while taking benzonatate.
