The simple answer is the "Morning After Pill". Taking it prevents a pregnancy from happening. If taken during a Pregnancy it can cause Spontaneous Abortion.
There would have to be severe abuse of most OTC medications normally taken, for most to cause a miscarriage. Although there are some medications that are known to cause defects that may cause a very early pregnancy to stop from developing or severe birth defects if the pregnancy continues.
The antibiotics tetracycline and sulfa drugs, drugs used to treat tuberculosis and some cancer drugs, hormone supplements, some anticonvulsants, and certain drugs used to treat psychosis and anxiety. Thalidomide a drug given to stop morning sickness in the 50's caused severe abnormalities. These drugs should never be used in early pregnancy and should be used with extreme caution by women in their child baring years.
Drugs used recreationally such as LSD and cocaine, and large quantities of alcohol in very early pregnancy can all cause defects that could cause a miscarriage.
