Benylin Extra Strength All-In-One Cough, Cold & Flu plus Mucus & Phlegm Nighttime 170ml

Benylin Extra Strength All-In-One Cough, Cold & Flu Plus Mucus & Phlegm Nighttime 170ml is a nighttime medication designed to provide relief from various cold, flu, and cough symptoms while you sleep. 

Active Ingredients:

• Dextromethorphan HBr (Cough Suppressant): In a higher concentration than the regular formula (around 15mg per 5ml is typical), it effectively suppresses the cough reflex to promote restful sleep.
• Guaifenesin (Expectorant): Loosens and thins mucus congestion (around 100mg per 5ml is common), making it easier to cough up and expel during sleep.
• Antihistamine (Likely Diphenhydramine): This ingredient is commonly used in nighttime formulas to induce drowsiness and reduce allergy symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes. (Exact type and dosage may vary).
• 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 (around 325mg per 5ml is common).

Benefits:

• Nighttime Relief: The formula is designed to target nighttime symptoms like coughs, congestion, aches, and fever, allowing for better sleep.
• Multi-Symptom Relief: Offers comprehensive relief for coughs, congestion, fever, aches and pains, runny nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes (if it contains an antihistamine).
• Fast-Acting: May provide relief within 30 minutes of use.
• Promotes Rest: The antihistamine ingredient can help you fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.

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. Antihistamines can cause drowsiness, so be aware of potential side effects before using.
• Not a Cure: This medication manages symptoms but doesn't address the underlying cause of your illness.
• Consult a Doctor Before Use: It's important to consult your doctor before using this product if you have:
  • Persistent cough (lasting over a week or two)
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Wheezing
  • High fever (over 38°C or 100.4°F)
  • Chronic health conditions (liver or kidney disease, high blood pressure)
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Avoid Alcohol and Other CNS Depressants: Since this medication likely contains an antihistamine, avoid consuming alcohol or other medications that depress the central nervous system, as it can increase drowsiness.

Additional Considerations:

• Benylin Extra Strength All-In-One Cough, Cold & Flu Plus Mucus & Phlegm Nighttime comes in a 170ml bottle.
• Drinking plenty of fluids before using this medication can help loosen mucus further. However, avoid excessive fluids right before bed to minimize nighttime bathroom trips.
• Consider using a humidifier to add moisture to the air, which can further soothe a cough and ease congestion.
• If your symptoms worsen or persist despite using Benylin Extra Strength All-In-One Cough, Cold & Flu Plus Mucus & Phlegm Nighttime, consult your doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
