Can the antibiotic Doryx (Doxycycline Hyclate) cure a yeast infection?

I am fully aware it is described to treat mild to severe acne, so please let me know your thoughts.
I have a yeast infection & I want to take oral medication instead of vaginal medicine/suppositories.
I have the aforementioned antibiotics in my medicine cabinet & I was just wondering, is it okay to take this medication for this type of infection?
Thank You Kindly.

antibiotics CAUSE yeast infections. NO the doxycycline will only make your yeast infection worse. antibiotics frequently cause yeast infections because in addition to killing the bacteria that is making you ill, it also kills your normal bacteria that keep the yeast under control in your vagina. Yeast is a fungus, not a bacteria, and it normally exists in the vagina without trouble, but an imbalance that kills off the normal bacteria that also exists in there, allows the yeast to over grow.
Sorry, but you have to treat yeast with an antifungal, not an antibiotic.
