Rituximab: Indication, Dosage, Side Effect

Indication:

Rituximab is used to treat certain cancers and autoimmune diseases. It's mainly given for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) by targeting and destroying B-cells, a type of white blood cell that becomes abnormal in these cancers. It's also used in autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, and pemphigus vulgaris, where the immune system attacks the body by mistake. Rituximab helps reduce this harmful immune response by lowering the number of B-cells causing the problem.

Dosage:                               

Rituximab is given through an intravenous (IV) infusion, and the dose depends on the condition being treated. For non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, it’s often 375 mg/m² of body surface area, given once weekly for several weeks. For rheumatoid arthritis, it’s usually two doses of 1000 mg, given two weeks apart, and repeated every 6 months or as needed. Doctors may adjust the dosage and schedule based on the patient's weight, overall health, and how they respond. Because of possible side effects like infusion reactions, the first dose is given slowly and under close supervision.

 Note:

Premedication (like antihistamines or steroids) is often given before infusion to reduce side effects.

Only used in a hospital or clinic setting under specialist care.

Regular monitoring is needed to check for infections or low blood counts.
