Benzonatate for Cough "These made me cough so much more, couldn't sleep all night. Back to Mucinex and Robitussin DM. Codeine cough syrup was much more helpful. This was prescribed the first round."

For Cough "After taking the benzonatate pearls for 2 days, I'm coughing as much, if not more, than before I started. Will pick up Mucinex tomorrow and hope for the best."

For Cough "Made me cough all night. A very dry cough. Coughed so much I kept gagging. Cough got better after the medicine wore off. Whoever invented cough suppressants is a liar."

For Cough "It did not help at all! It made me cough even more. I stopped taking it and made me honey and lemon. Works better than 200 mg of benzonatate."

For Cough "After taking just one dose of two capsules, it made my cough worse. Stop using the product after the second dose. This product should be taken off the market."
