Hi,
Azithromycin is unlikely to be the cause of miscarriage. The FDA classifies azithromycin as a category B drug, which means it has been shown to be safe in animal studies and hence commonly prescribed to treat certain infections like chlamydia during pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
