Hi, i have rituximab every 6 months dont have any bad side effects. But usually a few hours after it, i get a bit of a sore /dry throat which only lasts a couple of days xx
I usually feel like I have flu the day after the infusion but then find after that x x
i lost a lot of weight after putting allot on when my steroid meds where a high dose never had any good benefits with ritux infusions at all but they say its different for each person
I was on it for two years when I had RA. It helped considerably, but then seemed to lose effect. I too always felt like I had the flu after a treatment for about 24 hours. I don't recall those side effects lingering beyond that.
