Benylin Dry & Tickly Cough Syrup - 150ml

Benylin Dry & Tickly Cough Syrup for Persistent Cough Relief

You can rely on this dry cough syrup to provide effective relief from persistent, non-productive coughs that keep you awake at night. This 150ml bottle contains dextromethorphan hydrobromide, a clinically proven cough suppressant that works directly on your brain's cough centre to reduce the urge to cough.

When you're dealing with a stubborn tickly cough that produces no phlegm, this medicine helps break the cycle of irritation that can persist for weeks after a cold or flu. You'll find it particularly useful when your cough is disrupting your sleep or daily activities, as it provides up to 8 hours of relief per dose.

How Dextromethorphan Suppresses Your Cough Reflex

The active ingredient works by acting on the cough centre in your medulla oblongata, the part of your brain that controls the cough reflex. When you take this medicine, dextromethorphan blocks the signals that trigger unnecessary coughing, allowing your throat and airways to rest and recover.

Unlike expectorants that help bring up mucus, this formulation specifically targets dry, unproductive coughs where no phlegm needs to be cleared. You'll notice the effects within 30 minutes of taking a dose, with peak effectiveness occurring after 1-2 hours.

Who Should Use This Tickly Cough Medicine

This medicine is suitable for adults and children over 12 years who are experiencing persistent dry coughs. You might find it particularly helpful if your cough is worse at night or if you're recovering from a recent cold and flu infection that has left you with a lingering tickly sensation.

The syrup is ideal for you if:

• Your cough is dry and produces no phlegm or mucus
• You're experiencing throat irritation that triggers frequent coughing
• Your sleep is being disrupted by persistent night-time coughing
• You need relief that lasts several hours between doses

Why This Sugar-Free Formula Benefits Your Health

This sugar-free formulation means you can take it without worrying about tooth decay or blood sugar spikes, making it suitable for people with diabetes when used as directed. The pleasant-tasting syrup doesn't contain artificial colours, reducing the risk of allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

The 150ml bottle provides excellent value, containing enough medicine for a full course of treatment. You can store it at room temperature and it remains effective for the duration of its shelf life when kept in the original packaging.

Clinical Suitability and Storage Requirements

You should store this medicine below 25°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. The bottle should be kept tightly closed when not in use to maintain the medicine's effectiveness and prevent contamination.

This medicine is not suitable for you if you're taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or have taken them within the last 14 days. You should also avoid it if you have a productive cough with thick phlegm, as suppressing this type of cough could delay your recovery.
