Benylin Childrens Chesty Cough 125ml |
|
BENYLIN® Children’s Chesty Coughs works to thin and loosen the phlegm that is causing the cough, allowing it to be coughed up more easily, relieving discomfort.
It comes in sugar-free, strawberry flavour and has a non-drowsy formula to help your child feel better.
BENYLIN® Children’s Chesty Coughs contains an active ingredient, guaifenesin, which works on the body by thinning and loosening phlegm build up in the chest, making it easier to cough up.
Chesty coughs are caused by a build-up of phlegm and the cough mechanism kicks in to try and get rid of this excess phlegm to get it out of the body.
