Product description

Benylin Mucus Cough Night is a medication designed to relieve coughing and associated congestion while promoting restful sleep. It contains diphenhydramine, an antihistamine that reduces coughing, dries nasal and chest secretions, and aids sleep. Guaifenesin, an expectorant, helps loosen mucus in the lungs, making it easier to cough up, while levomenthol alleviates congestion, making breathing easier.

Please read the patient information leaflet for this product.
