Benylin Extra Strength All-In-One Cough, Cold & Flu plus Mucus & Phlegm 180ml

Benylin Extra Strength All-In-One Cough, Cold & Flu plus Mucus & Phlegm 180ml is a multi-symptom relief medication designed to tackle a variety of discomforts associated with colds, flu, and coughs with mucus production. 

Active Ingredients (Likely):

• Dextromethorphan HBr (Cough Suppressant): Suppresses the cough reflex, reducing the urge to cough, particularly helpful for dry coughs that disrupt sleep. (Dosage around 10-15mg per 5ml is typical).
• Guaifenesin (Expectorant): Loosens and thins mucus congestion in the chest and airways, making it easier to cough up and expel. (Dosage around 100-200mg per 5ml is common).
• Phenylephrine HCl (Decongestant): Shrinks swollen blood vessels in the nasal passages, relieving congestion and stuffiness. (Exact dosage may vary).
• Acetaminophen (Pain Reliever/Fever Reducer): Alleviates aches, pains, and fever associated with colds and flu. (Dosage around 325mg per 5ml is common).
• Menthol (Analgesic/Decongestant): Provides a cooling sensation that soothes a sore throat and may open up nasal passages to ease congestion. (Dosage typically low).

Benefits:

• Multi-Symptom Relief: Targets coughs, congestion, fever, aches and pains, and helps clear mucus for comprehensive relief.
• Fast-Acting: May provide relief within 30 minutes of use.
• Soothes Throat: The syrup formula may coat and soothe a throat irritated by coughing.

Important Information:

• Read the Label Carefully: Always verify the exact ingredients and dosage instructions on the label. Do not exceed the recommended daily dosage, especially for children.
• Not a Cure: Benylin Extra Strength All-In-One Cough, Cold & Flu plus Mucus & Phlegm manages symptoms but doesn't address the underlying cause of your illness.
