Does Cialis Interact With Shingles Vaccine?

My friend got the shingles vaccine yesterday, and had a bad night last night - couldn t sleep. He is also taking Cialis daily since late last week. Could there have been a drug reaction from one or both, or the combination? I am concerned, since I have been urging him to get the vaccine. It may have been delayed to the wrong time. Thanks for any helpful answers. My address is YYYY@YYYY .

Hello,

According your concerned, it is not known any drug reaction between cialis and shingles vaccine. A vaccine, like any medicine, could possibly cause problems,that can vary from mild and serious such as severe allergic reactions.

If you see signs of a severe allergic reaction that include hives, swelling of the face and throat, difficulty breathing, a fast heartbeat, dizziness, and weakness you should get the friends in hospital. These would start a few minutes to a few hours after the vaccination.

I hope my answer help you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I wish your friends quick recovery.

Regards,
Dr. Monika Dede
