BENYLIN PAEDIATRIC 100ML

Overview & Mechanism of Action

• Benylin Paediatric Cough Syrup (100ml bottle) delivers targeted symptomatic relief from dry, irritating coughs and allergy-induced upper respiratory discomfort in children:
• Central Cough Suppression & Antihistamine Relief (Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride): Acts as a central -receptor antagonist that dampens the cough reflex center in the brainstem. It reduces persistent dry, non-productive coughing spasms while relieving histamine-mediated allergy symptoms such as sneezing and runny nose.
• Demulcent Throat Soothing: Formulated in a pleasant, viscous vehicle that coats inflamed pharyngeal tissues, providing immediate mechanical soothing action to raw throat membranes and reducing the frequency of cough-triggering tickles.
• Restful Sleep Facilitation: Mild sedative properties help quiet nocturnal coughing fits, enabling children to achieve uninterrupted rest and bodily recovery.

Clinical Indications

• Benylin Paediatric 100ml is indicated for:
• Symptomatic relief of dry, tickly, and non-productive coughs associated with common colds, influenza, or upper respiratory tract irritation in children
• Managing allergy-induced coughs, post-nasal drip, and upper respiratory allergic congestion
• Soothing nighttime coughing spasms to promote restful sleep during illness
