Description

Benylin Chesty Coughs Non Drowsy 150ml is expertly formulated to tackle deep, chesty coughs. It contains two key active ingredients: Guaifenesin and Levomenthol. Guaifenesin acts as an expectorant, thinning and loosening stubborn mucus (phlegm) in your lungs, making it easier to cough up and clear your airways. Levomenthol provides a soothing sensation and helps to ease congestion, allowing you to breathe more comfortably.

Ideal for adults and children aged 12 years and over, this non-drowsy formula means you can continue with your daily activities while effectively managing your cough symptoms. Trust Weldricks Pharmacy for reliable cough and cold & flu solutions, delivered discreetly to your door.

How Benylin Chesty Coughs Non Drowsy Works

  • Guaifenesin: This active ingredient helps to thin bronchial secretions, making it easier for you to clear phlegm from your chest when you cough.
  • Levomenthol: Provides a cooling, soothing effect that helps to relieve congestion and make breathing feel easier.

By combining these two powerful ingredients, Benylin Chesty Coughs Non Drowsy 150ml offers comprehensive relief for the discomfort associated with chesty coughs, helping you to feel clearer and more comfortable.
