Experiencing a viral cold with chest congestion and coughing. This medicine does reduce the cough but still allows me to get rid of the phlegm.

Did nothing for my cough. Oh wait, other than make it worse. Now my lungs are burning!! I've coughed more since I took it. Can't wait for it to wear off!! Id I could have given no stars for questions 1 and 3 I would have.

as a patient, I expected relief and was terribly disappointed with this med and my physician for prescribing such a worthless 'medication' - Benzonatate isn't a medication, it's a scam to the patient

I have been taking this medication now for 3 days, 3 times a day and I find that it has not helped me. I am still coughing to the point now where I cry now when the coughting spells happen which is usually all day long and into the night. Thank God I am not experiencing any of the side effects. I'm beginning to think that this drug is not strong enough for me.

A friend reccomended I ask my Dr. for this. Easy to carry and take, no side effects. Cough stopped within 1/2 hr of taking meds. I'll never take liquid meds again.

Knowing that most drugs take at least 3 days to get into your system, I was pleasantly surprised when my coughs started decreasing the first day I took it. After 2 days, I hardly coughed at all, so the pain in my upper back disappeared. I like the way this worked. I had sunusitis with cough.

Did not help ease my cough at all. Does not clearly state what medicines are contraindicated. I threw away the bottle after 3 doses. I wish I had insisted on a narcotic cough suppressant so I can get some much needed sleep.

This is the 2nd time I've tried this medication. I can't get past the side effects to know if this drug works on my cough. It makes me sick to my stomache, gives me the shakes, and I broke out into a rash on my forhead. It also made me real dry and very foggy. NOT for me.

The medication didn't work initially, but after the second day, it seemed to work -- my cold did get worse but the coughing subsided from 30 coughs an hour to about 2 per hr. For some reason I had difficulty swallowing the pills, not sure if it was due to cold or what. My cough greatly reduced but, I felt kinda dizzy and nausea -- I rarely have this effect with medicines.

This is the best medication I have ever tken for a cough! I had bronchitis and my ribs hurt from all the coughing I did. My doctor prescribed this along with another medication. But once my coughing seized, I was able to sleep and get the rest I needed.

I still have a little cough, somewhat deep at times, but it did help me through the night with my coughing spells. Overall I am satisfied with the outcome.

This medication did not help my cough. I cough so hard that it feels like my ribs are broken. I actually feel worse than before going to the hospital
