Frequently asked questions

What is Kaloban used for?+
Kaloban is a liquid oral preparation containing Pelargonium sidoides root extract. It is used as a supportive therapy for acute respiratory infections such as bronchitis, sinusitis and common colds, helping to ease cough, congestion and related discomfort.
How does Pelargonium sidoides work?+
The extract contains polyphenols and coumarins that show antimicrobial activity against typical respiratory pathogens. It also modulates the immune system by activating macrophages, increases interferon production, and improves mucociliary clearance, which together contribute to symptom relief.
What is the usual dose of Kaloban?+
The appropriate dose of Kaloban is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, severity of symptoms and clinical judgment. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not self‑adjust the dosage.
Is Kaloban safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Pelargonium sidoides during pregnancy and lactation are limited. It is generally advised to avoid use unless the prescriber determines that the potential benefits outweigh any possible risks.
How do I order Kaloban from GNH USA?+
To order Kaloban, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity.

How does Kaloban compare with the main alternative drug or class?+
Kaloban is a herbal alternative to conventional antibiotics or symptomatic cough syrups. While antibiotics target bacterial pathogens directly, Pelargonium sidoides offers a broader immunomodulatory and mucolytic effect without promoting antibiotic resistance. Clinical outcomes may differ, and choice depends on physician assessment.
