A member asked:
How many hours do i need to space between 200mg doses of tessalon perles (benzonatate)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
4 hours: Tessalon usually starts working within 20 minutes of taking it with a duration of action of 3 - 8 hours. I would not take it more frequently than every 4 hours. Overdose is not generally a problem but the typical maximum dose is 600 - 800 mg per day.
