N2  - Two fatal cases involving Tessalon (benzonatate) were quantitated by ultraviolet (UV) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The first case involved an infant found choking; Tessalon perles were found with the child. The second case involved a successful suicide of an 18-year-old that consumed a "handful" of phenytoin and benzonatate and expired within 1 hr of the ingestion. Blood, brain and kidney concentrations are reported. These are believed to be the first two reported cases involving this compound.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
