Brief Answer:
not the best choice for UTI

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

although it may help with certain UTIs, generally it's not the best choice. A urine culture and antibiogram will help to determine the involved pathogen and its susceptibility to doxycycline. Unfortunately it can't be predicted.

Kind regards!
