Benylin Chesty Coughs Non-Drowsy works deep down in the chest to help loosen phlegm, so that when you cough, you can actually cough some of the phlegm up. This helps clear bronchial congestion without making you feel sleepy, so you can get on with your day.
The active ingredients are:
- guaifenesin which helps thin and loosen phlegm in your chest, making it easier to cough up
- levomenthol which helps to relieve congestion to make it easier to breathe
