Does Viagra Interact With Votrient?

my partner is using Votrient , he is on 400 mg , and has used it for 8 months , He takes associated drugs to counteract sickness . Other then these drugs , he takes no medication , and before his need for Votrient did not need any drugs (statins , blood pressure etc) He does not have raised blood pressure and is now tolerating Votrient well , having lost weight and struggled with fatigue . He is an otherwise fit 80 year old . What is your opinion of him very occasionally using Viagra ? Five years ago ,he had a kidney removed and parts of his lungs , he was fit until the discovery of further secondaries in the lungs ,hence the Votrient . The Votrient is working , and the small tumours have not grown .

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Votrient is used for treatment of advanced kidney cancer. There is no significant interaction between Votrient and Viagra. Viagra causes headache, flushing, respiratory tract infection, angina pectoris, migraine, syncope, tachycardia, postural hypotension, tremor, depression, hypoglycemic reaction, arthritis, deafness, photosensitivity, and accidental fall. These are common side effects of Viagra. We have very limited option for treatment of erectile dysfunction.
Advice
1. He can take Viagra along with Votrient
2. Avoid smoking and alcohol
3. Regularly check blood pressure
Thanks
