Taking these two medicines together can cause your blood pressure to drop too low. This might make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint, especially when you stand up quickly. There is also a small risk of an irregular heartbeat or a rare but serious condition called priapism (a painful erection that lasts for several hours).

Why this happens
Both medicines can lower blood pressure. Quetiapine blocks certain receptors (alpha-1) that help control blood pressure, and Viagra (sildenafil) relaxes blood vessels. When used together, these effects add up. Additionally, both drugs can occasionally affect the electrical rhythm of the heart.
What you should do
Use this combination with caution. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, sit or lie down immediately. Always stand up slowly from a sitting or lying position. If you experience a painful erection or one that lasts longer than 4 hours, seek emergency medical help immediately. It is best to inform your GP that you are using both of these medications.
