How does Pelargonium sidoides work?+
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.
What is the usual dose of Kaloba?+
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.
Is Kaloba safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
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.

How does Kaloba compare with the main alternative drug or class?+

What are the most serious risks to watch for when using Kaloba?+
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.
Who should not use Kaloba?+
Kaloba should be avoided by individuals with a known hypersensitivity to Pelargonium species or any component of the formulation.
