If your doctor prescribed it for a kidney infection, then he should know if it is the right drug for you. If you are unsure of his ability to treat you, I would suggest getting a new doctor. I mean this in the nicest way possible, as I've been in that boat too.

Doxycycline is a tetracycline antibiotic, similar to the medications demeclocycline (Declomycin), minocycline (Dynacin, Minocin, Solodyn, Vectrin), or tetracycline (Brodspec, Panmycin, Sumycin, Tetracap).

It is used to treat bacterial infections, such as urinary tract infections, acne, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, periodontitis and others.

It should not be used by children under eight years of age, mothers who are nursing can pass this to a breast fed baby and women who are pregnant should not use it.

Expired doxycycline can cause a dangerous syndrome resulting in damage to the kidneys.

Due to drug interactions be sure your doctor is aware of any medications you use.
