Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Doxytet contains the active ingredient Doxycycline, which is a Tetracycline class of antibiotic, this is an antibiotic that's used to treat bacterial infections.

There are many sexually transmitted diseases can be caused by
Chlymadia
Trichomonas
Herpes genitalis
Gonorrhoea
Human papilloma Virus

Doxytet is used to treat bacterial infections but other STIs require specific treatment, to know which is the STI you are having, you require physical examination and lab investigations to identify the causative agent and then we can decide which medication is required to treat the condition.
So I suggest you to consult your doctor at the earliest.
Thank you.
