Benylin Dry and Tickly Cough Syrup 150ml

What is Benylin Dry and Tickly Cough Syrup?

Benylin Dry and Tickly Cough syrup is a combination of Glycerol and Sucrose that relieves irritated sore throats. 

Glycerol coats and lubricates the throat to help stop the tickly sensation you get when you have a dry cough. The sweet taste of sucrose may help block sensory cough receptors in the throat.
