Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.

The antimalarial class of drug is not known to cause any adverse reaction to peniclilin, as they have not been commonly documented .But every drug combination can cause idiosyncratic reactions or unpredictable reactions.
Hence better to evaluate yourself specifically for any drug allergies or this formulation by consulting the physician.

Wish you good health
