When a wet phlegm cough sits on your chest it feels heavy as though an octopus is weighing down on your chest. Find out how BENYLIN® Phlegm Cough products can help you ease the symptoms of your mucus cough.

Phlegm producing tissue lines our lungs. The function of phlegm is to protect the body from dust, bacteria, viruses and other inhaled debris. Even when you are not ill, your body produces mucus to trap external particles and keep them from entering the lungs, acting as a filter.

When you get a cold, more phlegm is produced to trap the viruses or bacteria. This phlegm can gather in the respiratory system and a cough reflex is triggered to help remove it.

When phlegm builds up in the chest, it can be thick and difficult to get rid of by coughing. Therefore it is useful to have something that can help loosen the mucus and ease bronchial congestion – relieving that feeling of heaviness on your chest.
