Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

He needs careful monitoring of his blood pressure. Viagra is taken along with Metoprolol can have an additive blood pressure-lowering effects of Metoprolol resulting in a fall in blood pressure.

He should consult his doctor if he experiences signs and symptoms of low blood pressure such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, flushing, headache, or a rapid pulse or heart rate and he should take caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
