Product overview

About Benylin Dry & Tickly

For the cough that produces nothing but keeps everyone awake: Benylin's glycerol-and-sucrose syrup coats and soothes an irritated, tickly throat, calming the dry cough reflex the gentle way — no drowsy antihistamines, no suppressant drugs, just an effective demulcent doing what demulcents have always done. 150ml.

Why gentle works for dry coughs

A dry, tickly cough is an irritation loop: the throat is raw, so you cough, which makes it rawer. Glycerol breaks the loop by coating the throat in a protective, moisture-holding layer. Because there's no sedating ingredient, it's usable through the working day — and it's the approach pharmacists reach for first for tickly coughs.

How to take

Adults and children 12+: two 5ml spoonfuls up to four times a day. Not suitable for under-12s — ask about children's Benylin instead.

Good to know

Contains sucrose — diabetics take note. A dry cough that runs past three weeks, or starts after beginning new medication (ACE-inhibitor blood-pressure tablets are famous for it), deserves a GP or pharmacist conversation.
