Can malaria drugs affect early pregnancy?

Question

I had taken some malaria medicines just before I found out I was pregnant, maybe 4-5 weeks. Now im really tensed if it harmed anything. Planning to ask my gynac but did anyone go through same?

Oh God, definitely don't try to play doctor here! Some medicines are fine but some are big no-nos, so call your doc before popping anything.

Arre, malaria ki medicine khud se mat lena bilkul bhi. Apne gynac se pucho, woh safe medicine bata dengi, bilkul risk mat lo na.

When I had a fever early on, my doctor specifically changed my regular medicines to pregnancy-safe ones. Please check with your gynac before taking anything.
