Buy Benylin Cold & Flu Day & Night Max Strength 

Benylin Cold & Flu Day & Night Max Strength are capsules designed to provide you with effective relief from cold and flu symptoms. 

 

How Benylin Cold & Flu Day & Night Max Strength works

Benylin Cold & Flu Day & Night Max Strength provides you with two separate capsules. One has been designed specifically for the day and the other for the night.

The day capsule contains paracetamol which works to reduce pain and fever. The use of phenylephrine hydrochloride helps to reduce swelling in the nasal passage, allowing you to be able to breathe more easily. The day tablets also contain caffeine to help combat tiredness and increase pain relief from the paracetamol.

The night capsules also contain paracetamol and phenylephrine hydrochloride but they do not contain caffeine.
