Benefits of Benadryl DR Cough Syrup
- In Cough
- Benadryl DR Cough either loosens the mucus so a chesty cough clears it more easily, or settles the reflex behind a dry, tickly cough, depending on the type you have been given.
- In Chest congestion
- Benadryl DR Cough thins thick mucus in the chest so it can be coughed up, easing the heaviness and rattling and helping you breathe more freely.

- Benadryl DR Cough relieves the blocked nose, cough and congestion of a cold so you can rest and get on with your day while the infection runs its course.
How Benadryl DR Cough Syrup works
Dextromethorphan is a centrally acting antitussive. It suppresses the cough reflex by acting on the cough center in the brain, reducing the urge to cough.
