A member asked:

Does pid medication cause brown discharge? should i be worried?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Infection does: The infection changes the discharge. As you heal, the discharge may change color.

Go back to doctor: Without knowing what you are taking it is impossible to answer accurately, but this is not likely. Go back and consult with the doctor who diagnosed and treated you, and also make sure you were fully tested for other stds.
