Unhappy

I was in Nigeria recently. They were quick to shout the joys of Halfan, a new wonder drug for malaria:

HALFAN
HALOFANTRINE - ORAL (hal-oh-FAN-treen)

COMMON BRAND NAME(S):
Halfan

WARNING:
This medication has caused serious, even fatal, heart problems (e.g., ventricular arrhythmias), even at recommended doses. Halofantrine is not recommended for use while other medications known to cause heart problems (e.g., prolonged QT interval) are being used, nor in people who have ever used mefloquine. Halofantrine is not recommended for use if you have a history of heart problems or have had unexplained fainting episodes.

And the price for all this?
HALFAN
250MG 30 pills $251.70
[Per Pill : $8.39]

Good luck.
