Obinutuzumab side effects

[Hd07]

Hi all anyone suffered bad joint pain 🤔

[JaimeK]

Yes, I was told it was from the high dose steroid. Motrin cleared it right up🙏🏻Jaime

Husband has been treated with Gazyvathree times since 2016 And he has never had an issue with joint pain he has currently gotten three infusions over the past three weeks maybe as the other poster said it could be from the high dose steroids but it seems unlikely since steroids normally help control pain

I had no side effects from obinutuzumab, aka Gazyva. Your husband could ask about taking Claritin while undergoing treatment. Once I was off steroids and Benedryl (after the first day 1/day2 dose) my doctor had me take Claritin with infusions, as she found that it helped avoid side effects.
