Benylin Chesty Original 300ml

What it is

A chesty‑cough syrup that helps loosen mucus and ease the heavy, congested feeling in the chest so coughing becomes more effective. It uses a combination of ingredients that soothe and help reduce nasal stuffiness, letting you breathe more comfortably during a chesty cough.

Key benefits

• Designed for chesty coughs where mucus and congestion make breathing uncomfortable or coughing ineffective.

• Non‑drowsy in the sense it’s intended for day use; formulated to help with symptom control while you carry on.

• Sugar‑containing liquid that’s dosed with a spoon, helping with consistent dosing across the day.

• Well‑known brand and long‑standing pharmacy product, widely stocked at UK pharmacies.

How it works

• Diphenhydramine hydrochloride: an antihistamine that helps relieve cough and can reduce runny secretions in the nose and chest.

• Levomenthol: helps ease nasal stuffiness, supporting easier breathing.
  These two work together to reduce the irritation and congestion that make chesty coughs troublesome. Rowlands Online Pharmacy
