How Benylin Mucus Cough Max Menthol Works

Guaifenesin, the active ingredient in Benylin Mucus Cough Max Menthol 150ml, targets the thick, sticky mucus (phlegm) that causes chesty coughs. By increasing the volume and reducing the stickiness of these secretions, it helps your body naturally expel the mucus. This action not only relieves congestion but also makes your cough more effective, helping you feel clearer and more comfortable.

The soothing menthol flavour provides immediate comfort to an irritated throat and airways, offering a dual-action approach to cough relief.
