All I know about to doxycycline is that I had a very bad reaction to it within 20 minutes of taking the first dose (violent vomiting and a shaky feeling) but no idea about platelet levels (sorry)

Usually your platelet counts are affected by infection which trigger your immune response. So taking an antibiotics doesnt trigger your immune system.I have had doxycycline without any impact on my platelet count
