No. Antibiotics don't have any effect on the amount of bleeding during periods.

Heavy bleeding doesnt happen because of antibiotics but inflammation can play a minor role if ur down with fever. U should monitor your next cycles and in case this happens again u should get an ultrasound pelvis done

Azithromycin would not cause heavy periods. It’s more likely because youre perimenopausal. Heavy menstrual bleeding can occur in this age group.
