Description
What Are Benylin Day and Night Tablets?
Benylin Day & Night Tablets are designed to provide round-the-clock relief from cold and flu symptoms.
The day tablet helps you stay clear-headed and active, while the night tablet soothes symptoms so you can rest and recover overnight.
Targets multiple symptoms including:
-
Headache, fever and body aches
-
Nasal congestion and catarrh
-
Sore throat and sinus pressure
-
Runny or blocked nose
-
Daytime fatigue and disturbed sleep
How Benylin Day and Night Works
Each tablet combines targeted active ingredients to relieve symptoms when you need it most:
-
Paracetamol (500 mg): Pain relief and fever reduction.
-
Pseudoephedrine HCl (60 mg): Decongestant that narrows nasal blood vessels, easing congestion.
-
Diphenhydramine HCl (25 mg) (night tablets only): Antihistamine that helps dry a runny nose and promotes better sleep.
Together, they relieve aches, clear congestion, and help you rest – supporting recovery day and night.
Key Benefits
