Yes. There are prescription medications such which are used (on purpose) to cause or assist in causing a spontaneous abortion. There are also medications that may accidentally cause it. However, a single dose of most medications is unlikely to cause a problem.
One exception (among a short list) is a drug such as Cytotec (misoprostol). Cytotec is only indicated (officially approved) to help protect the stomach lining of people taking NSAIDs (motrin, naprosyn, Aleve, etc.). In truth, it is not a commonly used prescription drug for its intended purpose. However, taken by a pregnant woman, it may very likely cause uterine contractions that might lead to an accidental miscarriage. It does so by affecting the levels of certain prostaglandins in the body (a substance which, among other things, helps protect the stomach lining and also helps start the process of labor in a pregnant woman).
Doctors sometimes use this drug intravaginally and/or orally in a hospital setting to induce labor, even though the drug is not indicated/approved for this purpose in the USA (and in fact, the drug manufacturer specifically has a warning against its use in such a fashion, and has sent this warning in writing to physicians). Many doctors in the "real world" consider it safe and effective (and cheaper than some other drugs) in most pregnant women, but a consent form is typically required before the doctor can attempt to chemically induce labor with this or any other drug, as there are always risks in artificially starting the labor process. If you have had previous C-sections, this is also a consideration in which drugs can be safely used. Never take any prescription or OTC medication if you are pregnant, unless you first check with your OB/GYN, pharmacist, or a reliable medical reference.

Once a pregnancy is established, no. The pills can only prevent pregnancy ( though they are not 100% effective) if given the time to saturate your bloodstream and taken daily to prevent pregnancy. Taking the pills, if you haven't been taking them to prevent pregnancy, will not cause a miscarriage. I suggest going to a doctor.
