Rituxan is administered intravenously.
One course of treatment includes 2 infusions given 2 weeks apart.
Infusions generally take 4 to 6 hours. Rituxan is typically administered every 6 months, or based on your doctor’s evaluation of your symptoms.
If your symptoms return before it’s time for your next course, you and your physician may decide to treat earlier (but no sooner than 4 months).
Your doctor should check you for Hepatitis B before starting Rituxan.
Your doctor may give you certain medicines before infusions to help reduce side effects such as acetaminophen and/or diphenhydramine HCI.
The most common adverse reactions were headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, diarrhea, back pain.
