How Benylin® ES Cough Plus Relieves Cough and Congestion
Understanding the Symptoms
Cough and chest congestion are common symptoms often associated with colds and other respiratory infections. Coughing can be a protective reflex, helping to clear irritants and mucus from your airways. Chest congestion refers to the feeling of mucus buildup in the chest, which can make breathing difficult and cause discomfort. Coughs can be categorized as either productive (bringing up mucus) or dry (non-productive). This product is formulated to address both productive coughs and dry, irritating coughs.
Key Ingredients and Their Actions
Active Ingredients Breakdown
Benylin® Extra Strength Cough & Chest Congestion contains a combination of active ingredients to provide relief from cough and congestion. These ingredients work together to help ease your symptoms:
- Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide: A cough suppressant that helps to relieve a dry, hacking cough by suppressing the cough reflex. It acts on the cough center in the brain.
- Guaifenesin: An expectorant that helps to loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear congestion from the chest.
- Menthol: A topical anesthetic that provides a soothing effect on the throat and helps to relieve minor throat irritation.
Inactive Ingredients and Formulation
The formulation also includes inactive ingredients, which contribute to the product's overall effectiveness and appeal. These ingredients help to create a pleasant-tasting syrup.
