Is there a risk of side effects if I take Benylin Cough and Bronchial Congestion Syrup and Tylenol Cold and Flu Tablets?

Hello,

It all depends on the composition of these products. Be aware that there are significant differences in ingredients between products with very similar names.

Generally speaking, we avoid using "all-in-one" products, because it is common that some of the ingredients are not necessary for your situation. That being said, it is even more important to avoid using two different "all-in-one" products.

In this case, if you are taking this product of Benylin (https://fr.benylin.ca/extra-puissant/sirop-toux-et-congestion-bronchique) and you are taking the "Day" product of Tylenol (https://fr.tylenol.ca/products/rhume-toux-grippe/tylenol-complet-rhume-toux-et-grippe#ingr-dients), be aware that you are doubling the dose of cough suppressant consumed, thereby increasing the risk of side effects.

In conclusion, I recommend that you take THE right product for the problem you want to relieve.

We look forward to seeing you,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
