In Treatment of Cough
Cough is a sudden, forceful expulsion of air that helps clear any mucus or irritant in the throat or airways. If it happens more frequently, due to an underlying disease or an allergy, it can be bothersome. Benatroy Syrup helps to loosen thick mucus and reduces its stickiness, making it easier to cough out.
