Benefits

In Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a cancer of the white blood cells in our body, also called mantle-cell lymphoma. White blood cells are those cells that help us to fight infections. It lowers immune response and helps to reduce pain and inflammation. It also kills the cancer cells and helps prevent their further growth. Avoid being in crowds and wash your hands often to prevent any infections. Have plenty of fluids, unless otherwise advised by the doctor not to.

In Rheumatoid arthritis

It helps treat inflammation, pain and swelling in rheumatoid arthritis by decreasing the immune system response of the patient. It is given in the dose and frequency that suits your condition. This will be decided by the doctor. You must follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and let your doctor know if you have fever, chills or any bothersome side effects after taking this medicine.

In Blood cancer (Chronic lymphocytic leukemia)

Blood cancer, also called leukemia, is a cancer of the blood-forming tissues, that decreases the body’s ability to fight infection. It kills or stops the growth of cancer cells and also prevents the multiplication of cancer cells. It is an effective medicine but you should discuss the side effects and benefits of this medicine with your doctor. Let your doctor know if any of the side effects bothers you.

In Granulomatosis with polyangiitis

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis is a condition that causes inflammation of the blood vessels of the ears, nose, throat, lungs, and kidneys. In this condition, the blood flow to these areas may be reduced and it can lead to their damage. It helps reduce inflammation, pain and swelling and prevents further damage. This improves your quality of life.

In Microscopic polyangiitis

Microscopic polyangiitis is an autoimmune disease which occurs in the small blood vessels and may be caused due to problems with the immune system. Rituximab Injection reduces immune response and improves inflammation. This helps to heal this condition and improves your discomfort.

for autoimmune disease

It was originally used to treat lymphoma but is increasingly used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. It works for several months to reduce inflammation and improve your symptoms. If you respond well to rituximab you will probably feel better within four to six weeks.

The effects of rituximab usually last for between six and nine months.

Rituximab suppresses the immune system. Therefore, serious fungal, bacterial and new or reactivated viral infections (for example, hepatitis B or C, shingles) can occur during or after treatment. Generally, avoid rituximab in the presence of active, significant infections.

Discuss Alternative treatments with your doctor if you are not able to have or are intolerant with Rituximab.
