Non-narcotic antitussives are used to treat coughs caused by the common cold, the flu, and other respiratory infections. They work by suppressing the cough reflex in your brain, helping you to stop coughing. Non-narcotic antitussives come in different forms, including oral pills and syrups. Examples include benzonatate (Tessalon Perles) and dextromethorphan (Delsym).
Prices for popular Non-narcotic Antitussives medications
Benzonatate (Tessalon) is an inexpensive drug used to treat cough. It is more popular than comparable drugs. It is available in generic and brand versions. Generic benzonatate is covered by most Medicare and insurance plans, but some pharmacy coupons or cash prices may be lower.
Disclaimer: Popularity is based on total prescriptions for the brand and generic versions of each drug, regardless of the condition being treated. Some drugs are prescribed for multiple conditions.
