I had 3 sick girls, 12, 16, and 18 plus myself (43). We all had this terrible cold and cough that made it unbearable to get any rest. Our local pharmacist recommended we try this ..and oh wow, not one bit of coughing from anyone all night and because sleep became possible we felt better the next day also! Trust me, buy this medicine, it really works!

I took this medication about 45 minutes ago. It didn't take long for my lungs to clear up. I feel like I can actually breathe again. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is because it advertises as a nasal decongestant as well and my nose is still pretty congested. Honestly though, overall, this is a great product. If your main issue is chest congestion, this will clear you right up!

I started with a nasty cold over six months ago. Then a dry persistant cough I couldn’t shake. Phlegm I couldn’t get up. Tried other products without result. This morning i bought Benylin Mucus and Phlegm, taken it three times today and feel better in my throat and looking forward to a good nights sleep. Thankyou.
