The appropriate dose of Kaloban is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, clinical condition and local guidelines. Patients should follow the dosage instructions provided on the product label or by their clinician.

Kaloban’s active ingredient, Pelargonium sidoides, is distinguished by its standardized root extract, which has been studied for immunomodulatory and antimicrobial properties. Compared with generic cough syrups or other herbal blends, it offers a more defined phytochemical profile, but clinical efficacy may vary and should be evaluated by the prescriber.

Kaloban should be stored at ambient temperature below 25 °C, in its original packaging, protected from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children.

Although uncommon, serious adverse reactions can include allergic anaphylaxis, severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, significant liver enzyme elevation, and acute renal impairment. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience signs of a severe allergic reaction or organ dysfunction.

Kaloban should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to Pelargonium sidoides or any component of the formulation.
