I have had five infusions and the only side effect I have is water retention for about a week afterwards.

Hi iam on my 4th year of Retuximab and have never had any hair fall out or really any bad side effects. The only thing that caused my hair to thin was Cyclphosphimide infusions. Good Luck

Hi been having rituximab regular since 2005 for WEGENERS along with chyclophosimiide. Rituximabs only down side I've ever experienced is lack of energy after infusion for a day or two afterwards that's about it. The only hair thining experience I've had is with chyclophosimiide after Years of taking this drug thankfully Rituximab is pretty straight forward. I know many patients that get this drug they seem to say the same as myself. I've been on this now many years on 6 monthly infusions now down to yearly infusions. Hope this helps. Take care xxMaria
