I have Rheumatoid arthritis and myasenthia gravis and have been Rituximab for about 5 years. That had work good me.

Now they are doing a new Bio similar drug Ruxience by Pfizer.

Has anyone taken the Ruxience ? If so did you have side effects? Did it help?

See you normally post on the NRAS forum - did you mean to write this on there?

This forum is for PMR and GCA, and although they are autoimmune diseases, not sure you’ll get that many responses here.

So where should I post?

Well I’d put in on the NRAS forum - more likely to get replies there.

You might have thought you were - HU acts a bit oddly at times

You are very welcome to post here but I don't remember anyone on here being put on Rituximab as it isn't used for PMR or GCA, so not applicable to us. So no-one here is likely to be able to help.

Not what you're looking for?
