Benylin Phlegm Cough Plus Decongestant Syrup 100ml provides dual-action relief when a phlegm or chesty cough is accompanied by nasal congestion. It combines guaifenesin 100mg/5ml with pseudoephedrine hydrochloride 30mg/5ml.
Guaifenesin is an expectorant that helps loosen and thin phlegm, making mucus easier to cough up, while pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that helps relieve a blocked or stuffy nose.
Benylin Phlegm Cough Plus Decongestant is suitable for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and over.
Pharmacist Summary
This Benylin formulation is particularly useful when you have two symptoms together – a productive phlegm cough and nasal congestion. Guaifenesin helps make mucus easier to clear from the chest, while pseudoephedrine helps reduce nasal congestion.
Because this product contains pseudoephedrine, it is not suitable for everyone. Check with your pharmacist if you have high blood pressure, heart problems or take regular medication.
