Kaloba® 20 mg Filmtabletten

What are Kaloba®-20 mg film-coated tablets?

Kaloba® is an effective phytotherapeutic drug, whose proven active ingredient is derived from the South African Cape Pelargonium. In technical terms, this medicinal plant is called Pelargonium sidoides. Its antibacterial, antiviral and expectorant active ingredients are primarily found in the root of the plant (Pelargonii radix). This powerful effect was also used against tuberculosis in Europe in the past. However, the unique, modern root extract in Kaloba®-20 mg film-coated tablets is now used as follows:

• for the symptomatic treatment of acute bronchial infections
• when coughing with mucus production is to be treated with herbal remedies
• for combating the causes of virally induced cold symptoms
• to alleviate common cold symptoms – especially coughing
• to recover two days faster
• to prevent a secondary infection in the mucous membranes attacked by viruses
• to promote the removal of pathogens by loosening mucus
