'''ChestEze''' is a [[United Kingdom|British]] [[over-the-counter substance|over-the-counter]] [[pharmaceutical]] product manufactured by Do-Do for ''"relief of [[Bronchiole|bronchial]] [[cough]], [[wheeze|wheezing]], [[Dyspnea|breathlessness]] and other [[symptom]]s of [[asthma]]tic [[bronchitis]] and to clear the [[chest]] of [[mucus]] following [[upper respiratory tract]] [[infection]]."'' It contains 30mg [[caffeine]], 18.31mg [[ephedrine]] [[hydrochloride]] and 100mg [[anhydrous]] [[theophylline]].
It comes in a fawn brown tablet. Recommended doses are: Adults: not more than 1 tablet in 4 hours. Maximum 4 tablets in 24 hours. Young persons over 12 years: 1 tablet and no more than 3 tablets daily with an interval of at least 4 hours between each tablet.
Because ChestEze contains ephedrine, which is illegal in its pure form in the UK{{Fact|date=July 2008}}, it is sometimes used illicitly in large doses by bodybuilders. This use can be dangerous, however, since theophylline can be toxic at relatively low doses.
