Benzonatate for Cough "I have been on these pearls several different times, they do nothing for me except make my cough a lot worse than it was. So back to the Dr. I go, hopefully for something that will work."

For Cough "I was prescribed this yesterday, and it hasn’t helped at all. Today, my head hurts from so much coughing from what the doctor said is probably bronchitis. Absolutely no benefit."

For Cough "Benzonatate was a waste of $15. Made me cough more, plus giving me a weird scratchy feeling in my throat. I only took one 100 mg, and I’m done. Honey works better than benzonatate."
