Key Ingredients and Their Benefits

Active Ingredients Explained

Benylin Cough & Chest Congestion Relief contains two main active ingredients: Dextromethorphan and Guaifenesin. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant that works by affecting a specific part of the brain to reduce the urge to cough. Guaifenesin is an expectorant, which helps to loosen mucus in the airways and make it easier to cough up, thus clearing congestion. The exact dosages are tailored to provide effective relief while adhering to safety guidelines.

• Dextromethorphan works to suppress the cough reflex.
• Guaifenesin is used to help loosen mucus.

Inactive Ingredients and their Role

Inactive ingredients in Benylin Cough & Chest Congestion Relief include citric acid, sodium benzoate, and various flavoring agents. These ingredients are included to improve the taste and shelf life of the medication. Citric acid helps to maintain the product's acidity, sodium benzoate acts as a preservative, and flavorings are added to make the medicine more palatable.
