Benylin Mucus Cough Plus Decongestant Syrup helps to relieve chesty coughs, clear the stuffy, blocked up feeling in the nose and sinuses and reduce catarrh in adults and children aged 12 years and over. It contains pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, a decongestant that relieves nasal and sinus congestion and guaifenesin, an expectorant that helps to loosen the mucus in your throat and chest.

Benylin Mucus Cough Plus Decongestant Syrup is supplied with a double-ended spoon for quick, accurate dosing.

  • Leave at least 4 hours between doses.
  • Do not give more than 4 doses in 24 hours.
If symptoms persist talk to your doctor.
