Rituxan side effects

I've been on an 8 week maintenance regimen of Rituxan for the past 10 years and this past year I've have chronic sinus infection and coughing up mucus. Could this be a side effect?

Humm I don't think so just because you've been getting for so long now, but that's just my opinion. I am now down to 1 infusion every 12 wks which only on my 2nd that I'm getting next wk. I've done 2 rounds of the once a wk for 4 wks & never had that kind of side affects. Definitely ask your oncologist!

Definitely consult your oncologist for side effects. They will adjust accordingly if needed.
