    Author: Khan MA, Rehman GN, Qazi SA.
    Journal: J Pak Med Assoc; 1991 Jan; 41(1):8-10. PubMed ID: 1900550.
    Abstract:
    Thirty two children with symptomatic malaria due to P. vivax and P. Falciparum infections were treated with three doses of Halofantrine hydrochloride 8 mg/kg body weight every 6 hours. Mean fever clearance was 30 hours (range 24-48 hours). No significant clinical or biochemical side effects were observed. Symptoms cleared rapidly. Halofantrine hydrochloride was found to be highly effective and appeared to have no side effects in children with acute malaria infections.
