For patients and families

What is Rituxim 100mg?

Rituxim 100mg holds 100mg of rituximab in 10ml. Hospitals mostly use it to fine-tune a dose. Your doctor calculates the amount of rituximab you need, and the pharmacist makes up that total from large and small vials. Rituximab itself is an antibody made in the laboratory. It recognizes CD20 on B cells, the white blood cells involved in some lymphomas and in rheumatoid arthritis, and helps your immune system destroy them.

What is it used for?

Rituximab helps control three main groups of illness:

• Rheumatoid arthritis in adults, given with methotrexate when other biological treatment has failed
• Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, alongside chemotherapy
• B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, either with chemotherapy or as maintenance to hold a good response

How is it given?

A trained nurse gives the infusion through a cannula in your arm. The pharmacy adds the medicine to a bag of saline first. You will usually take a few pills before the start to make reactions less likely, and the nurse checks your pulse, temperature and blood pressure as the drip runs. Your doctor decides the dose and the gap between treatments.

Common side effects

• Chills, flushing or breathlessness while the infusion runs
• Headache and a run-down feeling for a day or two
• Coughs, sore throat and other infections
• Reduced white blood cells

Seek help urgently for a swollen face, difficult breathing, fever above 38°C, painful skin blisters, yellow eyes, or sudden problems with thinking, walking or sight.

Storage

Refrigerate the vial between 2°C and 8°C and keep it boxed, because light damages it. It must never freeze. Learn how we keep medicines cold during delivery from our warehouse to your door.
