Generic benzonatate?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for benzonatate

Yes. Benzonatate is available as a generic. In the US (and many other markets) you can get benzonatate capsules as the generic version (usually 100 mg or 200 mg). The brand name you might see is Tessalon Perles, but the generic contains the same active ingredient.

Key points:
- Common strengths: 100 mg capsules and 200 mg capsules.
- Typical adult dosing: 100 mg by mouth 3 times daily as needed, up to 600 mg per day. Follow your prescriber’s directions.
- How to take: swallow capsules whole with water. Do not chew or dissolve the capsule, as it can cause numbness of the mouth and throat.
- Safety:
- Not recommended for children under 10 years old (risk of serious poisoning).
- Can cause drowsiness, dizziness; avoid driving if affected.
- Avoid or limit alcohol while taking it.
- Be aware of possible allergic reactions or other side effects; contact a clinician if you notice severe symptoms.
