Experiences with

Rixathon

Currently treated with rixathon every 7 -12 months. I used to be treated with rituximab but that affected my memory.

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?

I have 20mg MTX (Metoject) 4 x Sulfasalazine and have just started on Rituximab (Rixathon) infusions. I also take paracetamol 4 times a day. 😖😩😕

The rhemy clinical nurse told me that, on average, Rituximab (Rixathon in my case) takes 2 to 3 times to have an effect!! 😭 I then had to return to work...shoulder so painful, stonking headache and feeling wiped out. However, I do feel I was listened to today.

Anyone else had RIXATHON or been told they will be switched to it?
