BENYLIN 4 FLU 200ML

Overview & Mechanism of Action

• Benylin 4 Flu Liquid (200ml bottle) provides multi-symptom relief from acute influenza and severe cold symptoms through four targeted pharmacological actions:
• Antipyretic & Analgesic Pain Relief (Paracetamol): Reduces body temperature and alleviates fever, headache, sore throat, and muscle aches by inhibiting central cyclooxygenase (COX) pathways and prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system.
• Nasal & Sinus Decongestion (Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride): Acts as a sympathomimetic decongestant that stimulates vascular alpha-adrenergic receptors, causing vasoconstriction in swollen nasal mucosal blood vessels to restore clear breathing.
• Antihistamine & Secretion Reduction (Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride): Blocks histamine receptors to halt allergic responses, dry up runny nose, and suppress continuous sneezing and watery eyes.
• Cough Suppression & Demulcent Effect: Soothes raw, irritated throat mucosa while suppressing mild dry or tickly cough reflexes associated with upper respiratory viral infections.

Clinical Indications

• Benylin 4 Flu Liquid 200ml is indicated for:
• Comprehensive relief of flu symptoms including fever, chills, body aches, sore throat, and headaches
• Management of nasal congestion, sinus pressure, and blocked airways
• Controlling rhinorrhea (runny nose), sneezing, and accompanying dry coughs caused by seasonal colds or flu
