Brief Answer:
Amlodipine(Lotrel) and Sildenafil(Viagra) Interactions

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service.
And Thank you for trusting us with your health concern.

Amlodipine and Sildenafil both lower blood pressure. So, when taken together Sildenafil can add to the blood pressure lowering effect of Amlodipine.
However, there is no absolute contraindication to take these two together unless you have any cardiac issues or on any other medications that could lower blood pressure.

If you take the two medications keep a close watch on symptoms of hypotension like dizziness, nausea, fainting, and rapid heart rate. If any of these happens, please be advised to follow up with your doctor/urgent care immediately.

Most healthy individuals who do not have any cardiac issues, and not on other medications that lower BP, will not develop any issue on taking Lotrel and Viagra together. However, it is important to be mindful of the possible interaction and warning signs of hypotension(low blood pressure) if at all it occurs.

Hope this answers your question.
Please let me know if I can assist you further
Regards
Dr.Lekshmi
