Rituximab

IAG828

I have been recommended by my registrar to undergo a course of Rituximab and have been told it is a good treatment. Has anyone any got any experience and advice for me before I commit to it.
Thank you

Hi IAG828. To start you off, we have a very good page of information about Rituximab on our website. It provides details on whether it is suitable, how its taken, side effect and additional advice.

As Rituximab affects your immune system, this can make you more likely to pick up some infections. Our advice also gives tips on how to reduce your risk.

Following the Covid-19 outbreak, it would be wise to find out more about assessing your risk and how to protect yourself.

Other members also take Rituximab : here is a short discussion from December 2019.

Best wishes

Brynmor
