rituxmab

My blood work is good. Has anyone of your doctors took you Rituxmab for a period time. If so how long.

Do you mean how long does it take to be prescribed Rituximab? You will only be prescribed it if your condition demands it….it is not just a progression if another Biologic has failed.,

Hi 65_women , sorry if I've misunderstood, are you asking if anyone's been asked to come off rituximab for a while because blood tests indicate the disease process is in remission?

You question isn't clear but if your asking had a Dr taking anyone off rituximab when bloods are all fine then yes I came off it and was put on baricitinib but that was during covid because it was safer to take than going into hospital for infusions. The baricitinib didn't work and affected my liver so I was put back on to rituximab.I have heard of people having longer than 6 months between doses as it's working so well. Hope this helps with your query
