This time my illness is EXACTLY AS LISTED ON THIS BOX. That is what makes the entire product line so reliable. Regardless of your symptoms, Benylin has you covered. And no I do not work for the company! I believe in the quality control totally and appreciate that you take only medicine into your body for what actually is ailing you. First Cough Plus got rid of my death rattle in breaking up my chest issues and now Im helping to keep a tissue co. In business. I am never without Benylin in the house.

I needed something that would calm my cough enough to sleep but would also allow my body to get rid of the mucous in my lungs. This worked perfectly. It also helped with congested sinuses. I found the taste to be better than most.

Red dye #40 in all Benylin products on the shelf

I’m a an ER physician and recommend Benylin products to a lot of my patients with upper respiratory symptoms. I have no doubt that the products with DM work well. I recently had an aggravating cough and went searching for an OTC cough suppressant for myself. I was very surprised and disappointed that I could not find one Benylin product without red dye 40 as a listed ingredient. It is not a necessary ingredient and comes with potential risk - please consider not using this. I will be recommending other brands until I see this change. Thank you.

I've been really sick with terrible chest congestion and a cough that is so nagging I can't talk at times for the last week . At night time I was only getting about 3 hours of sleep so going to work was quite frustrating to say the least being so tired and sick at the same time. I bought this product 2 days ago and it completely takes my cough away and every other symptom I've been feeling. Thank God I found this product it really really helps and if you have a cough that won't go away this product Won't Let You Down.

Works very well, no cough meds ever work for me. This one taste bad as all cough meds pretty much do. However it works like it promises 6 hours of relief and with the sooth coating for throat helps so much. My cough is almost gone now and it’s been 3 times taking this medicine. Thank you so much
