Abstract (english)

In 1886 pharmacist John Pemberton introduced new medicine called Coca-
Cola. Even though today it is not available at the pharmacy shelves, during past 130
years it has become one of the best selling soft carbonated drinks all over the world.
The core of its success lays in its natural flavour, obtained mainly from the coca leaves
and kola nuts. In this paper a brief history of Coca-Cola is given, accompanied with
an overview of herbal drugs used for its preparation Coca (Erythroxylum spp., Erythroxylaceae)
and Kola (Cola spp., Sterculiaceae).
