Benylin Day & Night Tablets for Cold and Flu help to reduce temperature, relieve aches and pains, clear congestion and catarrh and so make it easier to fall asleep at night.
This medicine contains paracetamol, pseudoephedrine and diphenhydramine:
- Paracetamol helps to bring down a fever and provide relief from headaches or bodily aches and pains.
- Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride causes the blood vessels in the nasal and sinus passages to constrict and narrow, reducing congestion and the production of excess mucus, helping to clear stuffy noses.
