Clivers + Silodosin
Silodosin brand name: Rapaflo.
We found no known interaction between Clivers and Silodosin in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the label for Silodosin states a food rule worth keeping to.
Clivers and Silodosin
We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.
No Known Interaction Found
We did not find a documented interaction between Silodosin and Clivers in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.
Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Clivers at all — not against Silodosin, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.
If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.
Clivers safety at a glance
Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.
Some Silodosin Products Have a Food Rule — Clivers Should Not Break It
At least one FDA label for a product containing Silodosin says to take it with food. If you take Clivers on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Silodosin with a meal where the label says to.
This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Silodosin products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION 8 mg capsules taken orally once daily with a meal.
From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Silodosin — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›
A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Silodosin
This page covers Clivers only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Silodosin page lists 145 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.
The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Grapefruit (major), St. John's Wort (major), Acacia Rigidula (moderate) and Adrafinil (moderate).
By severity: 3 major · 104 moderate · 38 minor.
From our pharmacist’s overview on the Silodosin page
“Grapefruit is the first risk I'd flag for anyone taking silodosin (Rapaflo) for an enlarged prostate. It blocks CYP3A4, the enzyme that clears silodosin, so blood levels rise, and higher levels mean more dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting when standing.”

Where does our data come from?
- Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions.
- Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources.
- Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The Clivers and Silodosin records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
- What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.
About Clivers
What is Clivers?
- Supporting urinary tract and 'cleansing'
- Mild swelling or fluid retention (diuretic use)
- Skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis
- Swollen lymph glands
- Minor wounds and skin irritation (topical)
Clivers (Galium aparine) is a common wild plant used in traditional herbal medicine mainly as a 'cleansing' herb, mild diuretic, and skin remedy. Strong human evidence for these uses is lacking, so its benefits remain unproven. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding because safety is not established.
Galium aparine · Rubiaceae · Aerial parts (the leaves, stems, and flowering tops gathered above ground) · Tea (infusion), tincture, fresh juice, capsules, and topical preparations
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Clivers is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Clivers record says about it on its own.
Clivers: dosing
There is no official, well-studied standardized dose for clivers. Traditional use varies widely depending on whether it is taken as a tea, tincture, or fresh juice, and product strengths differ from brand to brand.The safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the suggested amount.

About Silodosin
What Is Silodosin Used For?
Brand name: Rapaflo
Silodosin capsules are approved to treat the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that can make urination difficult, weak, or frequent. It helps ease those urinary symptoms so urine can flow more freely.
It is important to know that silodosin is not approved for treating high blood pressure, even though it affects certain receptors that can influence blood pressure.
Most-Reported Side Effects for Silodosin
From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (0 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.
