About Benylin
Benylin is the UK's number one selling cough medicine brand, trusted by British families since the early 1970s. Now owned by Kenvue, the consumer health company spun off from Johnson & Johnson, Benylin has established itself as the go-to brand for effective cough, cold, and flu relief in households across the country. The brand was acquired by Johnson & Johnson from Pfizer in 2008, and has maintained its market-leading position ever since. In 2016, Benylin was one of the biggest-selling branded over-the-counter medications in the UK, generating £36.8 million in sales. The flagship cough syrup uses dextromethorphan as its active ingredient, marketed internationally as Benylin DM. Benylin offers a comprehensive range of products tailored to different types of cough and cold symptoms. The range includes targeted treatments for chesty cough, dry and tickly cough, and mucus cough, as well as all-in-one relief tablets for multiple symptoms. Products are available in various formats including syrups and tablets, with specific formulations designed for both adults and children. Whether you're dealing with a persistent cough, congestion, or flu symptoms, Benylin provides pharmacy-grade relief available across UK supermarkets and high street chemists. The brand's five decades of trusted service have made it a medicine cabinet essential for British families facing the challenges of cold and flu season.
