No: Doxylin is a dertivative of Doxycycline - an antibiotic. Doxepin is a similar sounding medication that has antihistamine properties that is sometimes used to treat allergies. However, avoidance of shelfish would be best for you. I would suggest you have an epi=pen as well.

avoids shellfish: You should avoid eating shellfish. You should have Epinephrine self injecting pens in case of a severe reaction to shellfish. You should see a board certified allergist to confirm your allergy and advise you on the best treatment modalities.
