Kaloba is an oral liquid containing Pelargonium sidoides extract that is traditionally used to support relief of symptoms associated with acute respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis, sinusitis and the common cold. It is intended for use in adults and children under medical supervision.
How does Pelargonium sidoides work?+
Pelargonium sidoides extract contains bioactive compounds that exhibit antibacterial, antiviral and immunomodulatory properties. It is believed to stimulate macrophage activity, increase interferon production, enhance mucociliary clearance, and inhibit pathogen adhesion to respiratory epithelium, thereby supporting the body’s natural defense mechanisms.
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, clinical condition and local guidelines. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not alter the dose without medical advice.
Is Kaloba safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Kaloba during pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and this decision must be made by a qualified healthcare provider.
How do I order Kaloba from GNH USA?+

How does Kaloba compare with other respiratory herbal remedies?+
Kaloba’s active ingredient, Pelargonium sidoides, is distinguished by its documented antibacterial, antiviral and immunomodulatory effects, whereas many other herbal remedies rely primarily on symptomatic relief. Clinical studies suggest Kaloba may reduce cough duration more effectively than some single‑herb preparations, but comparative efficacy varies with formulation and patient population.

What are the most serious risks to watch for when using Kaloba?+
Serious risks, although rare, include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, liver enzyme elevations indicating possible hepatotoxicity, and rare blood disorders like thrombocytopenia. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, jaundice, or unexplained bruising.
Who should not use Kaloba?+
Kaloba should be avoided by individuals with known hypersensitivity to Pelargonium sidoides or any component of the formulation. It is also contraindicated in patients with severe liver disease, uncontrolled autoimmune conditions, or those taking medications that may interact severely without appropriate monitoring.
