Indications & Clinical Uses

Kaloba contains Pelargonium sidoides extract, which is employed in the management of upper respiratory tract conditions.

  • Acute bronchitis: may help relieve cough, sputum production and associated discomfort.
  • Common cold: supports symptom relief such as sore throat and nasal congestion.
  • Sinusitis: may assist in reducing sinus pressure and drainage difficulties.

How It Works

  • Pelargonium sidoides extract is rich in polyphenols, coumarins and proanthocyanidins that exhibit antimicrobial activity and modulate the immune response. The preparation is thought to enhance macrophage activity, promote the release of cytokines, and inhibit bacterial adhesion, thereby supporting the body’s natural defence mechanisms during respiratory infections.

  • Skin irritation: mild rash or itching at the oral mucosa.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Anaphylaxis: severe allergic response requiring immediate medical attention.
  • Severe skin reaction: Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis.

Store Kaloba at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the bottle tightly closed in its original packaging, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the cap is securely tightened after each use.
