Introduction
Benz Junior Syrup is a combination medicine used to treat symptoms of the common cold and cough. It contains Phenylephrine, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that narrows small blood vessels to relieve nasal congestion. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antiallergic that alleviates symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is a cough suppressant that reduces the activity of the cough center in the brain. While effective, it is important to use this medication as directed and consult a doctor if symptoms persist.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Benz Junior Syrup may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

Quick Tips
Benz Junior Syrup helps in the treatment of dry cough and other common cold symptoms. It is usually taken only for a short time until the symptoms clear up. Measure the syrup with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular tablespoon. Drink extra fluids to help loosen the congestion and lubricate your throat while you are taking this medication. Stop taking this medicine and inform your doctor if your cough persists for more than 1 week, tends to recur, or is accompanied by a fever, rash, or persistent headache.
