Rituximab and high blood pressure

[Redkatt]

Can Rituximab cause your blood pressure to go high? At the end of a Rituximab treatment blood pressure had gone up quite high and is still high three days later.

I'm not surprised.

During my first rituximab infusion, my blood pressure increased and my scalp was tingling. I didn’t have any problems with the remaining rituximab treatments.

I also had a tingling scalp for about 10 minutes but my blood pressure was unaffected.
