Hi quick question,

How long is one customary to wait after taking antibiotics until she can complete her rituximab infusion?

I've been getting various different information and it's confusing.

Thanks

Nina

This is one for your rheumy team. Different hospitals/teams seem to have their own guidelines and recommendations. I would suggest your ring your rheumy nurse for advice. Farm
