Benylin Paediatric is a gentle, sugar-free cough syrup specifically formulated for young children. It is designed to provide effective relief from coughs and congestive symptoms without being overly harsh on a child's delicate system. Unlike adult formulations, it is flavored and balanced to be safe and palatable for pediatric use.
This product is primarily indicated for the relief of coughs and nasal congestion in children. It is used to:
Soothe Dry, Tickly Coughs: Calms the throat irritation that leads to persistent coughing.
Relieve Nasal Congestion: Helps clear stuffy noses, making it easier for the child to breathe and sleep.
Reduce Sneezing and Runny Nose: Addresses the common "drippy" symptoms associated with colds and hay fever.
Alleviate "Chestiness": Helps loosen mild congestion in the upper respiratory tract.
Children (6 to 12 years): 10ml (two teaspoons) taken 3 to 4 times daily.
Children (2 to 5 years): 5ml (one teaspoon) taken 3 to 4 times daily.
Children (under 2 years): Not recommended for children under 2 years of age unless specifically directed by a pediatrician.
Note: Always use the measuring cup or spoon provided. Do not exceed 4 doses in any 24-hour period.
To ensure your child recovers comfortably:
Shake Well: Shake the bottle before each use to ensure the active ingredients are well-mixed.
Hydration: Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids (water or clear soups) to help thin out any mucus.
Bedtime Use: Administering a dose before bed can help suppress the cough reflex, allowing the child to get much-needed rest.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the child-safety cap is securely fastened after every use.
Benylin Paediatric typically features:
Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride: A mild antihistamine that helps stop runny noses, sneezing, and persistent coughing.
Menthol: Provides a cooling sensation that helps clear the nasal passages and soothe the throat.
Sugar-Free Base: Formulated without sugar to be safer for children’s teeth.
Indicated For: Children aged 2 to 12 years suffering from cold and cough symptoms.
Precautions: This medication may cause drowsiness. This is often helpful at night but monitor your child during the day if they are active.
Contraindications:
Do not use if the child is taking other antihistamine-containing products.
Consult our pharmacist if your child has asthma or is taking other medications.
Q: Will this make my child sleepy?
A: Yes, Benylin Paediatric contains an antihistamine that can cause drowsiness. This is often beneficial for children who are having trouble sleeping due to a cough.
Q: Can I give this along with Paracetamol?
A: Generally, yes, but ensure the other medication does not also contain an antihistamine. Always check with our pharmacist before combining medicines.
Q: How long can I use it?
A: If your child's cough lasts for more than 5 days, or if they develop a high fever or rash, stop use and consult a doctor immediately.
