Benylin Mucus Cough Night
Benylin Mucus Cough Night is formulated to relieve a chesty, mucus-producing cough, ease congestion and support a more restful night's sleep. It contains diphenhydramine, an antihistamine that helps calm coughing, reduce nasal and chest secretions and promote sleep; guaifenesin, an expectorant that loosens mucus to make it easier to clear; and levomenthol, which provides a cooling sensation and helps relieve the feeling of congestion. Suitable for use at night when coughing and mucus are making it difficult to rest.
