Benz Pearls Capsule is used to treat dry cough. It contains Benzonatate which works by reducing the cough reflex in the lungs and air passages. In some cases, this medicine may cause side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, sleepiness, confusion, and nausea. Before taking this medicine, inform the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking any other medication, or have any pre-existing medical conditions.
I am a diabetic patient and have been suffering from a severe cough for the past four months. My doctor prescribed Benz Pearls Capsule, which helps while I am taking it, but the cough returns once I finish the medicine. What should I do?

Benz Pearls Capsule (Benzonatate) only suppresses the cough and does not treat the underlying cause, which may be an allergy, asthma, acid reflux, infection, or a lung condition. Since your cough has lasted for four months, you should consult your doctor for a chest X-ray, blood tests, and possibly a lung function test to find the exact cause. Treatment should focus on the cause to prevent the cough from returning.
