Benylin Dry & Tickly Cough Syrup

Benylin is a long-standing brand in the cough and cold relief sector, originally developed in the mid-20th century. The product shown, Benylin Dry & Tickly Cough Syrup, contains glycerol and sucrose to soothe irritated throats. It is a staple in the UK and European over-the-counter medicine markets.

Manufacturing for Benylin products occurs in multiple locations across Europe and the United Kingdom to serve regional markets. Historically, the brand was associated with Parke-Davis (a division of Warner-Lambert) and later Pfizer.

In a major industry shift, the brand was acquired by Johnson & Johnson as part of its consumer healthcare division. In 2023, Johnson & Johnson spun off its consumer health business into a new independent company called Kenvue. As of 2024 and looking forward, Kenvue is the ultimate owner of the Benylin brand, maintaining its headquarters in the United States while operating globally.
