I was tested positive for pregnancy. And my result indicated that I have malaria, so the Dr. gave me malaria medication which was artemether and lumefantrine for the malaria medication. Please is it safe for my new pregnancy?

Yes it completely safe (though no medicne is 100% safe) but as malaria would have killed you your doctor took worse decision to give you safest of all available options among anti malaria medicine and that too very effective so do not worry in real world till date no strong evidence against its use has been ever published so we take it safe.
