ASDA Chesty & Mucus Cough Relief is a private-label medicinal oral solution sold by the British supermarket chain Asda. The product is a cherry-flavored cough medicine containing guaifenesin, a common expectorant used to loosen phlegm and mucus. As a store-brand product, it is primarily manufactured in the United Kingdom by various pharmaceutical contractors that produce generic health products for the UK retail market.

The Asda brand has a rich history in UK retail, originally founded in 1949 with origins in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Throughout its history, the brand has seen various ownership changes, most notably being acquired by the American retail giant Walmart in 1999. In recent years, ownership shifted back toward British interests. As of 2021 and moving into the mid-2020s, the brand is owned by the Issa brothers (Zuber and Mohsin Issa) and the private equity firm TDR Capital, though Walmart retains an equity investment. The company remains headquartered in Leeds, West Yorkshire.
