Rixathon...biosimilar?

Hi Peeps,

I had, what I thought was, my first Rituximab infusion last Monday. I have only just realised that it wasn't Rituximab, it was Rixathon! Has anyone had experience of this infusion? Am I assuming that it is a biosimilar to Rituximab?

Hi Moomin. Yes I had Rixathon for my last infusion and it is a Rituximab biosimilar. I recall others have had it previously and said it works just as well. I was on Truxima before which is another Rituximab biosimilar and that was fine too.

Hope you soon feel the benefit. 🤞🏻

Yes, I have RITUXIN which works very well.. I think they’re all bio-similars but as long as they work I don’t mind 🤗
