HPLC Method for Analysis of Benzonatate on Primesep 100 Column
Separation type: Liquid Chromatography Mixed-mode SIELC Technologies
Benzonatate is a medication commonly used to relieve cough. It belongs to the class of drugs known as antitussives. Antitussives are substances that suppress or relieve coughing. Benzonatate works by numbing the throat and lungs, reducing the cough reflex.
Cough Suppression: Benzonatate is primarily used to relieve cough caused by conditions such as respiratory infections or irritation of the airways.
Dosage: It is typically taken orally in the form of capsules. It’s important not to chew or break the capsules, as this can lead to a numbing sensation in the mouth and throat.
Side Effects: Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, constipation, and upset stomach. Serious allergic reactions are rare but possible.
Caution: It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and not exceed recommended limits. Overdose can lead to serious side effects, including death.
