Benylin Mucus Cough Max Honey & Lemon Syrup - 150ml

Benylin Mucus Cough Max Honey & Lemon Syrup – 150 ml is a maximum-strength expectorant cough medicine formulated to provide effective relief from chesty (productive) coughs where excess mucus is present.

The syrup contains guaifenesin, a well-established expectorant that works by loosening and thinning mucus, making it easier to cough up and clear from the chest. This helps to reduce chest congestion, ease coughing discomfort and support easier breathing during colds and minor chest infections.

The honey and lemon flavour provides a soothing taste, helping to calm throat irritation while the medicine gets to work. This product is suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over and is intended for short-term use.
