Product description
A 300ml cough syrup from Benylin indicated for the relief of chesty coughs and associated congestive symptoms in adults and children aged 12 and over, containing diphenhydramine hydrochloride and levomenthol for dual-action cough and congestion relief.
Benylin Chesty Coughs Original is a licensed medicine formulated to target the discomfort of chesty coughs caused by a build-up of phlegm in the lungs and chest, combining two active ingredients that work together to address both the cough reflex and associated nasal congestion. Diphenhydramine hydrochloride is an antihistamine that acts on the cough centre and helps to dry and reduce nasal secretions by preventing histamine from binding to its receptors, reducing the irritation that drives persistent coughing, while levomenthol provides a well-recognised decongestant and soothing effect that helps relieve stuffiness in the nose and airways, making it easier to breathe throughout the day.
The syrup is taken four times daily in measured 10ml doses and is presented in a 300ml amber glass bottle with a child-resistant closure, providing a generous supply suitable for treating a full course of chesty cough symptoms associated with colds and upper respiratory infections.
Features of Benylin Chesty Coughs Original 300ml

- Raspberry-flavoured syrup presented in a 300ml amber glass bottle with a child-resistant, tamper-evident closure
