Benylin

Choosing the right Benylin

Matching the product to your cough helps. Dry, tickly coughs are eased by a cough suppressant, while chesty coughs with mucus are helped by an expectorant that loosens phlegm. Some Benylin products are non-drowsy for daytime, while others can cause drowsiness and suit night-time use. Check the actives, as several cold & flu products contain paracetamol — don't double up.
