Benylin Mucus Max Honey & Lemon is an over-the-counter chest congestion and mucus cough syrup. Each 10ml dose contains 200mg of Guaifenesin (100mg per 5ml) as its active ingredient, combined with a warming honey and lemon flavor.
Taken by mouth, adults and teenagers aged 12 and over use it for the fast relief of chesty, productive coughs, helping to clear thick phlegm and soothe throat irritation.
Chesty coughs happen when sticky mucus builds up in your airways, causing your chest to feel heavy and triggering constant coughing. This syrup uses a dual-action approach:
Thins and Loosens Mucus: Guaifenesin acts as an expectorant to thin down thick, stubborn phlegm in your chest and lungs.
Clears Airways: By loosening the mucus, your natural coughs become far more effective at clearing out your airways.
Soothes Throat Irritation: The warm, thick honey and lemon syrup coats your throat to ease the raw, scratchy feeling caused by frequent coughing.
🚨 Warning: This syrup contains glucose, sucrose, and ethanol (alcohol).
If you have diabetes or are managing your blood sugar levels, keep in mind that this liquid contains natural sugars.
If you need to avoid alcohol completely, speak with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
Not for Dry Coughs: This syrup is designed specifically for chesty, mucus-producing coughs. Do not combine it with dry cough suppressants, as stopping your cough prevents your body from clearing the loosened phlegm.
Persistent Coughs: If your cough lasts for more than 7 days, keeps coming back, or comes with a high fever, skin rash, or continuous headache, stop taking it and see a doctor right away.
Age Limit: Suitable for adults and teenagers aged 12 years and older. Do not give to children under 12 years of age.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Adults and Children Aged 12 Years and Over: Take 10ml (two 5ml spoonfuls) 4 times a day as needed.
Maximum Daily Limit: Do NOT exceed 4 doses (40ml total) in any 24-hour period.
Use the Spoon Provided: Always measure your dose using the measuring cup or spoon provided in the box.
Benylin Mucus Max Honey & Lemon is generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience minor side effects:
Mild stomach discomfort, feeling sick (nausea), or diarrhea.
Mild headache or dizziness.
Mild allergic reactions (such as a skin rash) in rare cases.
Will this syrup make me sleepy?
No. Guaifenesin is a non-drowsy ingredient, so this syrup will not cause grogginess or heavy sleepiness.
What should I do if I forget a dose?
Take your next dose when you need it, as long as you do not exceed 4 doses in a 24-hour period. Never take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
How should I store this syrup?
Keep the bottle tightly closed in its original box to protect it from heat and light. Store in a cool, dry place strictly below 25°C or 30°C, away from direct sunlight, and keep it completely out of reach of children.
