Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
There is no interaction that lead to arrhythmias in using bendaryl and benzonatate. It causes only over sedation in combining the two.
if you space interval between the two this interaction will be much decresaed.
Hope it helps best.
