Kaloba (Pelargonium Sidoides Root Liquid Extraction Preparation (1 : 8-10), Extraction Solvent: Ethanol 11 %)

The extract is rich in polyphenols, coumarins and pro‑anthocyanidins that display antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activity. It is believed to stimulate macrophage function, increase interferon‑β and other cytokine production, and enhance natural‑killer‑cell activity, thereby supporting the body’s innate defence against respiratory pathogens and reducing inflammation in the airways.

The specific dose of Kaloba is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, severity of symptoms and local regulatory guidance. The product is supplied as a measured oral liquid, and the prescriber will indicate the exact volume to be taken and the frequency of administration.

Safety data for Pelargonium sidoides extract in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss use with their physician. The prescriber will weigh potential benefits against any unknown risks before recommending Kaloba.

Kaloba differs from conventional cough suppressants such as dextromethorphan because it is an herbal extract that aims to support the immune response rather than merely block the cough reflex. Compared with other herbal products like ivy leaf or thyme, Kaloba contains a standardized Pelargonium sidoides preparation, which has been studied in several clinical trials for acute bronchitis, whereas evidence for many alternatives is less robust.

Kaloba should be stored at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in its original container protected from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme heat. The bottle should be kept tightly closed when not in use, and any unused product should be discarded after the expiration date indicated on the label.

Kaloba is taken orally as a measured liquid dose. The prescriber will specify the exact volume (e.g., milliliters) to be taken, the frequency (such as three times daily), and the duration of therapy. The dose is usually measured with the supplied dropper or calibrated syringe to ensure accuracy.

Although generally well tolerated, Kaloba can cause serious adverse reactions in rare cases. The most important risks include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, which may present with swelling, difficulty breathing or rash, and potential liver enzyme elevations indicating hepatic stress. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if these symptoms occur.

Kaloba should be avoided in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to Pelargonium species or to ethanol, which is used as the extraction solvent. It is also not recommended for children under 12 years of age unless a healthcare professional explicitly advises otherwise, and caution is advised for patients with severe liver disease, bleeding disorders or those taking anticoagulant therapy.
