Authors: Lizogub VG, Riley DS, Heger M
BACKGROUND: The common cold is a viral infection
with symptoms such as sneezing, sore throat, and
running nose. It is one of the most prevalent illnesses
in the world, and although commonly caused by
rhinoviruses, antibiotics are often prescribed
unnecessarily. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to
evaluate alternative treatments such as herbal
medications, whose efficacy and safety is proven by
pharmacological and clinical studies.
CONCLUSIONS: EPs represents an effective
treatment of the common cold. It significantly
reduces
the severity of symptoms and shortens the duration of
the common cold compared with placebo. The herbal
drug is well tolerated.

For centuries the roots of Pelargonium sidoides DC
have been used in South African ethno-medicine for
the treatment of respiratory diseases. In Germany, a
medicinal product containing a special extract of this
substance is among the group of self-medication
products most widely bought at chemist's shops. In
December 2005, the Federal Institute for Drugs and
Medical Devices (BfArM, Bonn) approved a new
license for its use as a drug. The following review
focuses on the current pharmacological, toxicological
and clinical data covering the efficacy and
innocuousness of this drug when administered for
the treatment of acute bronchitis.
