Default Shingles vaccination
My husband, who has PD, has just been offered a shingles vaccination. Does anyone know if this is compatible with PD meds? He is currently on Madopar, Requip XL and Propanolol. I shall of course check with the pharmacist, but just wondered if anyone had experienced any adverse effects?

That's an excellent question, budgies. I also had concerns about the taking the vaccine a few years ago, and I was also taking Amantadine, which has anti-viral effects. I looked into this closely along with my doctor and pharmacist. The pharmacist actually contacted Merck, the manufacturer of the vaccine, directly. I was told by everyone that there is no known negative interactions with the vaccine, zostavax, and PD medications. I had the vaccine with no complications or impact at all.

Good luck

Thank you so much Tupelo and Soccertese for taking the time to reply and for the reassurance. I shall now feel much easier when my husband has the vaccination.
