Toprol acts by slowing the heart rate and widening the blood vessels. In general, there are no contraindications to using Toprol with an antibiotic. I would suggest that in the future these questions regarding medicine interactions be addressed to the physician who prescribed the medication. Sinus infections are a bear to treat. They become encapsulated in nooks and crannies and biofilms. In addition they may be due to different bacteria. Doxycline is a tetracycline and many bacteria will not respond to such treatment. The ideas situation is to obtain a culture. Irrigation with warm sterile saline injected with a small bulb syringe is the preferrered treatment, several times a day, head back, first in the left nostril and then the right.  "Sniffing" the saline will not do the job. You can make your own saline with boiled water and salt.
