Tussilon Capsule 100 mg contains Benzonatate, a non-narcotic antitussive used to relieve dry, non-productive coughs associated with conditions such as upper respiratory tract infections, bronchitis, or the common cold.

Benzonatate works by numbing the stretch receptors in the lungs and airways, which helps suppress the cough reflex at its source. Unlike opioid-based cough suppressants, Tussilon Capsule does not cause sedation, addiction, or respiratory depression, making it a safe and effective option for adult patients experiencing persistent cough.
