Benylin Mucus Max Menthol is an over-the-counter chest congestion and mucus cough syrup. Each 10ml dose contains 200mg of Guaifenesin (an expectorant) alongside soothing Levomenthol in a deep, cooling menthol-flavored liquid base.
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 ease breathing.
Chesty coughs happen when thick, sticky mucus builds up in your airways, causing your chest to feel heavy and triggering constant coughing. This syrup uses a dual approach to clear your chest:
Thins and Loosens Mucus: Guaifenesin increases the fluid in your airways, making thick, stubborn phlegm thinner and looser.
Makes Coughs More Productive: By breaking down the sticky mucus, your natural coughs become far more effective at clearing the phlegm out of your lungs and chest.
Cooling Menthol Sensation: The high-strength levomenthol provides an immediate, invigorating cooling feeling down your throat, helping to open up your nasal passages and ease tight breathing.
🚨 Warning: This syrup is made specifically for chesty, mucus-producing coughs.
Do NOT use this syrup for long-term, chronic coughs caused by asthma, smoking, emphysema, or chronic bronchitis unless directed by a doctor.
Do NOT combine this syrup with cough suppressants (dry cough medicines), as stopping your cough stops your body from clearing out the loosened mucus.
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.
Kidney or Liver Issues: Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this syrup if you have severe kidney or liver problems.
Age Limit: Suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and older. Do not give to children under 12 years of age.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor 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) every 4 to 6 hours as needed.
Maximum Daily Limit: Do NOT take more than 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 pack.
Benylin Mucus Max Menthol 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. This is a non-drowsy formulation and does not contain sedating ingredients, so it will not cause grogginess.
What should I do if I forget a dose?
Take your next dose when you need it, as long as it has been at least 4 hours since your last dose. 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.
