Features
Benylin Chesty Coughs Original is a clear red syrup. •What it does: BENYLIN® Chesty Coughs Original provides deep penetrating relief and a soothing effect that allows you to get on with your day. •How it works: Active ingredient diphenhydramine hydrochloride is an antihistamine and works by relieving a cough. Diphenhydramine also helps dry nasal secretions by preventing the natural body chemical histamine from binding to its receptors and producing a runny nose. Levomenthol works to relieve stuffiness in the nose to help make breathing easier. •What is a chesty cough? Chesty coughs are caused by a build-up of phlegm in the lungs and on the chest. The cough mechanism kicks in to try and get rid of this excess mucus.
Benefit
The liquid contains diphenhydramine which is an antihistamine that helps relieve coughing and dry secretions in the nose and chest and levomenthol which helps you breathe more easily by relieving congestion.
