Indication:

Benylin Mucus Cough Decongestant Syrup not only thins and loosens chest mucus so you can cough it away more easily, it also helps relieve nasal congestion. How it works? Guaifenesin thins and loosens mucus, making it easier for you to cough up and lighten the weighty feeling on your chest. Pseudoephedrine causes the blood vessels in the nasal and sinus passages to contract and narrow, which reduces congestion.
