[|Human|] My husband has Bronciostasis. He is coughing very badly. He does have a rescue inhaler plus Breo elliptical. He uses a nebulizer twice a day. He has heart disease and takes many heart related medicines every day. He also had a quadruple by pass in 1991. Can he take benzonatate 100 mg. My email address is YYYY@YYYY
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Benzoate is centrally acting cough suppressant. So it is given for Chat Doctor.  In bronchiectasis, patient usually gets cough with plenty of mucus expectoration. So Benzoate is not given in bronchiectasis. You can ask give him N acetyl cysteine (NAC). It is bucolic, expectorant and antioxidant in nature. It should be given twice daily. Furthermore, it is having excellent effect in bronchiectasis. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
