Hi JulieG. If you have any doubts, get in touch with your doctor immediately or the consultant at your hospital.

I have not been on the drug and I have not heard of any side effects but do not leave it.

Hope it is ok for you Sailor.

I had rituxamab last year and i do get breathless. My consultant refered me to a lung specialist and all tests came back fine. Sometimes i find when my plateletshave dropped i get more breathless. X
