Thanks for asking at Healthcare magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
Antimalarial does not cause miss periods.
There are factors like stress, oral contraceptive pills even if taken two months before can lead to hormonal imbalance that causes miss periods.
breast feeding also cause miss periods naturally.
I would like to advise you not to be much worried
have a proper vaginal ultrasonography, Serum Beta HCG.
Do regular aerobic excersizes 30 minutes a day five days a week. take plenty of fluids.
Hope it helps best. Take your best care.
