Can Doxycycline affect or harm a hair transplant?

I had a hair transplant 8 months ago. I've been getting really oily skin and acne on my face. I saw a dermatologist who prescribed me Doxycycline in pill form. I'm wondering if this medication contributes to hair loss, or if it can affect the hair transplant in any way?
