Brief Answer:
Shingles and Prolia

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
Prolia is a relatively new drug in the market which is used in osteoporosis. It is known to increase risk of infections and eczema. So it is better to avoid it during active shingles. However Shingles does not come in the contra indications list of Prolia.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
