BENYLIN® Infant's Cough Syrup (Glycerol) is a sugar-free, non-drowsy medication specifically formulated to soothe dry, tickly coughs and sore throats in children aged 3 months to 5 years. Rather than containing strong sedatives or chemical cough suppressants, it utilizes glycerol (0.75ml per 5ml dose) to physically coat and lubricate the throat, providing immediate relief that is safe for both day and night use.
