50 patients (45 males + 5 females) suffering from acute uncomplicated attack of Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) malaria were treated with 1500 mg of halofantrine divided in three doses of 500 mg each given at an interval of 6 h. Results showed there were no primary treatment failures. Average Parasite Clearance Time (av. PCT) was 51.12 h and average Fever Clearance Time (av. FCT) was 31.25 h. Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR) were mild and self limiting. We conclude that halofantrine is a quite safe and effective new antimalarial agent in the treatment of Pf malaria cases.
