Benylin Dry and Tickly Cough Syrup is an over-the-counter soothing cough mixture. It contains two main active ingredients: Glycerol and Sucrose (Sugar).
Taken by mouth, adults and children aged 5 and over use it for the fast relief of dry, tickly coughs and sore throats.
Unlike medicines that work on your brain to stop coughing, this syrup acts directly as a soothing coating for your throat:
Coats and Protects: The thick syrup (glycerol and sucrose) coats the back of your throat (the pharynx) with a smooth, protective layer.
Calms the Tickle: By covering the raw, irritated lining of your throat, it shield sensitive nerve endings from dry air and dust, stopping the tickling feeling that makes you want to cough.
Soothes Soreness: Helps ease the raw, painful feeling in your throat caused by constant dry coughing.
🚨 Warning: This syrup contains a high amount of sucrose (sugar).
If you have diabetes, be aware that taking this syrup can affect your blood sugar levels.
Not for Wet Coughs: This syrup is made specifically for dry, tickly coughs that do not produce any mucus or phlegm. Do not use it if you have a chesty cough with thick mucus.
Age Limits: Do NOT give this syrup to children under 5 years of age.
Persistent Coughs: If your cough lasts for more than 7 days, gets worse, or comes with a high fever, severe headache, or chest pain, stop taking it and see a doctor.
For Adults and Children Aged 12 and Over: Take two 5ml spoonfuls (10ml) 3 or 4 times a day.
For Children Aged 5 to 11 Years: Give one 5ml spoonful (5ml) 3 or 4 times a day.
How to Take: Use the measuring spoon provided in the pack. Do not drink directly from the bottle.
Maximum Daily Use: Do not take more than 4 doses in any 24-hour period.
Because this syrup works as a physical soothing agent and contains gentle ingredients, side effects are very rare:
Mild stomach upset or nausea if taken in large amounts.
Allergic reactions (like a mild skin rash) are extremely rare.
Will this syrup make me sleepy?
No. It does not contain any drowsy antihistamines or sedating cough suppressants, so it will not make you feel sleepy or groggy.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes. Glycerol and sucrose are generally safe to take during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but it is always a good idea to check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
How should I store this syrup?
Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place strictly below 25°C or 30°C, away from direct sunlight, and keep it out of reach of children.
