Does benzonatate have gelatin?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for benzonatate

Yes, the common benzonatate products (like Tessalon Perles) are soft gelatin capsules. The capsule shell is gelatin (often with glycerin and water) and may also include colorants.

If you need to avoid gelatin (due to allergy, dietary, or religious reasons), check the exact product labeling for inactive ingredients or ask the pharmacist. Gelatin-free benzonatate options are not widely available; you may need to consider alternative cough suppressants (e.g., dextromethorphan or guaifenesin) after discussing with a healthcare provider. If you can share the brand/name and country, I can help look up the specific label.
