Description
Benylin Children’s Chesty Coughs 6+ is formulated to relieve chesty coughs in children aged 6-12 years.

This sugar-free, strawberry-flavoured syrup provides effective relief without causing drowsiness. It is suitable for use during the day to help children feel better and breathe more easily. Each bottle contains 125ml and is intended for short-term use, with up to 4 doses per day.
