Benylin Mucus Cough Max Menthol - 150ml

Benylin Mucus Cough Max Menthol – 150ml is a maximum-strength expectorant cough syrup formulated to provide effective relief from chesty (productive) coughs, where mucus is present.

The syrup contains guaifenesin, a well-established expectorant that works by loosening and thinning mucus in the chest, making it easier to cough up and clear. This helps reduce chest congestion and ease breathing. The addition of menthol provides a refreshing, cooling sensation that helps soothe the throat and airways.

Benylin Mucus Cough Max Menthol is suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over and is intended for short-term use to relieve cough symptoms associated with colds.
