Halofantrine and side effects?



Since, as far as I can tell, Halofantrine - an antimalarial agent - is not 
used in Noth America, I am having difficulty finding information of it.

What are its long term and short term side-effects?

Does it have any liver toxicity?

Any effects on bone marrow?


I am asking these questions for a doctor in the Carribean without 
Internet access.  Thank you for your time.
