How Benylin Dry Cough Night Syrup Works

Relief from Dry Coughs

Benylin Dry Cough Extra Strength Night Syrup is formulated to provide relief from dry, irritating coughs that can disrupt sleep. Dry coughs, often caused by upper respiratory tract infections or irritants, are characterized by a lack of mucus production, leading to a persistent, hacking sensation. This nighttime formula is designed to soothe the throat and suppress the cough reflex, allowing for more comfortable rest. Its purpose is to help manage cough symptoms during the night, when they can be most bothersome, helping you get the sleep needed for recovery.

• Specifically formulated for nighttime use.
• Helps to control dry coughs.

Key Ingredients and Their Effects

The effectiveness of Benylin Dry Cough Extra Strength Night Syrup stems from its carefully selected active ingredients, each playing a specific role in providing relief.

• Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide: This cough suppressant works by acting on the cough center in the brain, reducing the urge to cough. According to Health Canada, dextromethorphan is a safe and effective cough suppressant when used as directed.
• Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride: An antihistamine that has a sedative effect, helping to dry nasal secretions, and promote relaxation, thereby aiding sleep. This can be particularly beneficial at night when coughs may be triggered by postnasal drip or other irritants.
