A member asked:
How many hours apart can benzonatate 100mg be taken? direction says 3 times a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benzonatate or Tessalon pearls have an Onset of action of 15 to 20 minutes (Therapeutic), and duration between 3 to 8 hours. Usually when prescriptions say to take X-times a day, I divide X by 24 hours to get the frequency.
