You can continue your antihypertensive drugs along with silodosin. Silodosin is more selective to prostate and less likely to have significant effects on hypertension. It has some effect on hypertension, but not significant to be used alone for treating hypertension. You can have any vitamin supplement, but not for the sake of taking silodosin. Silodosin is a relatively harmless drug.
