Benylin Mucus Cough Max Honey & Lemon - 300ml

Benylin Mucus Cough Max Honey & Lemon – 300 ml is a maximum-strength cough medicine designed to provide effective relief from chesty (productive) coughs where mucus is present. It works by helping to loosen and thin stubborn mucus, making it easier to cough up and clear from the chest.

The formula contains guaifenesin, a well-established expectorant, which helps reduce chest congestion and supports easier breathing. The honey and lemon flavour soothes the throat, making the medicine pleasant to take, even during persistent cough episodes.
