Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Kaloba (Pelargonium sidoides root extract) is used to support the respiratory tract during acute infections.
  • Acute bronchitis: helps alleviate cough and sputum production.

How It Works

Frequently Asked Questions

Kaloba contains Pelargonium sidoides root extract and is used as a herbal medicine to support the respiratory tract during acute upper‑respiratory infections such as bronchitis, the common cold and sinusitis. It aims to ease symptoms like cough, congestion and sputum production.

The extract is rich in polyphenols, coumarins and proanthocyanidins that exhibit antimicrobial, antiviral and immunomodulatory actions. It is believed to stimulate macrophage activity, increase interferon release and inhibit bacterial adhesion, thereby strengthening the body’s innate defence mechanisms in the airways.

The appropriate dose of Kaloba is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight and clinical condition. No fixed regimen is provided here; the prescriber will set the exact amount and frequency.

Safety data for Pelargonium sidoides extract during pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies the possible risk, and the decision must be made by a qualified clinician after evaluating individual circumstances.

Kaloba is a herbal alternative to conventional symptomatic treatments such as over‑the‑counter cough suppressants or antibiotics used for bacterial bronchitis. Unlike antibiotics, it does not target specific bacteria but supports the immune response, offering a natural option for mild to moderate respiratory infections.

Kaloba should be stored at ambient temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the liquid in its original container, tightly sealed, and out of reach of children. No refrigeration is required for this oral herbal extract.

Kaloba is administered orally as a liquid extract. The exact volume and frequency are prescribed by a healthcare professional, who will advise whether it should be taken with water, before or after meals, and for how many days.

Serious adverse reactions, although rare, include anaphylaxis, severe skin rashes such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, hepatic enzyme elevation and hemolytic anaemia. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience difficulty breathing, widespread rash, jaundice or unusual fatigue.

Kaloba should be avoided by individuals with a known hypersensitivity to Pelargonium species or any component of the formulation. It is also not recommended for patients with severe liver disease, uncontrolled autoimmune conditions, or those taking medications that may interact significantly without medical supervision.
