Brief Answer:
Can be stopped

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome

I appreciate your concern

Clarithromycin has a significant interaction with silodocin and will increase the level or effect of silodosin.

It can be stopped during the course of clarithromycin for a period of 10 days safely.

Wishing you best of health

Please contact your doctor before taking any medication
