Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Kaloba, a herbal medicine for respiratory tract infections, is used in the following conditions:
  • Acute bronchitis: helps reduce cough frequency and supports airway comfort during recovery.
  • Cough: alleviates persistent cough associated with upper respiratory infections.
  • Upper respiratory tract infection: provides symptomatic relief of throat irritation and mucus production.

How It Works

  • Pelargonium sidoides root extract is thought to exert immunomodulatory effects, enhancing the activity of macrophages and stimulating the release of cytokines that support the body’s innate defense. It may also increase mucociliary clearance and possess mild antimicrobial properties, contributing to symptom relief in respiratory infections.

Side Effects

Kaloba is generally well tolerated, but some users may experience adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects

  • Gastrointestinal upset, such as mild nausea or stomach discomfort.
  • Diarrhea or loose stools.
  • Bitter or unpleasant taste.
  • Headache.
  • Skin rash or mild itching.
  • Dizziness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Anaphylactic reaction or severe allergic response.
  • Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or other severe skin eruptions.
  • Hepatotoxicity presenting as jaundice or abnormal liver enzymes.

Precautions & Warnings

When using Kaloba, consider the following precautions:

  • Children under 2 years: not recommended without medical advice.
  • Pregnancy: consult a healthcare professional before use.
  • Breastfeeding: safety not established; seek professional guidance.
  • Known hypersensitivity to Pelargonium species: avoid product.
  • Concomitant use with immunosuppressive therapy: monitor clinical response.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Avoid Interactions

Kaloba may interact with other medicines; consider these interaction categories.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent use with other herbal cough preparations containing similar extracts, due to additive effects.
  • Combination with immunosuppressive agents, which may diminish therapeutic response.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): potential for increased bleeding risk.
  • Antidiabetic drugs: possible enhancement of hypoglycaemic effect.
  • Antihypertensive agents: monitor blood pressure for additive lowering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kaloba is an over‑the‑counter herbal medicine used to relieve symptoms of acute bronchitis and cough. It is intended for adults and children who experience persistent coughing or airway irritation associated with respiratory tract infections.

Pelargonium sidoides root extract is believed to modulate the immune response by activating macrophages and stimulating cytokine release. It may also improve mucociliary clearance and exhibit mild antimicrobial activity, helping the body clear respiratory pathogens and reduce cough.

The appropriate dose of Kaloba is determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight and clinical condition. Prescribers typically advise a measured amount using the provided dosing device, and the regimen may be adjusted as needed.

Safety data for Kaloba in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks with their physician before using the product.

To order Kaloba, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Standard cough syrups often contain dextromethorphan or codeine, which act centrally to suppress cough. Kaloba uses a herbal extract that supports the body’s innate immune response and mucociliary function, offering a symptomatic relief approach without central nervous system depression.

Kaloba should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container. Keep the bottle tightly closed, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and keep it out of reach of children.

Kaloba is taken orally. The liquid is measured with the supplied dosing device and swallowed directly. It can be taken with or without food, according to the prescriber’s instructions.

Serious risks, although rare, include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, serious skin disorders like Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, and potential liver injury. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they notice signs of a severe reaction.

Kaloba should be avoided by individuals with a known hypersensitivity to Pelargonium species, children under two years of age unless advised by a physician, and patients taking strong immunosuppressive therapy without medical supervision.
