Been on Rituxin for years. Did not notice any side effects except a little fatigue. It helped my cancer stay away.

I was on Rituxin maintenance off and on for over 10 years for my Mantle Cell Lymphoma; no major side effects- a little fatigue.
Am now on Brukinsa an immunotherapy chemo pill which is working well.
Good Luck!🌺

Yes, the decision to change or stop a medication is up to the patient and their doctor. Risk versus Benefit or. Write a list of pros and cons.

I took one dose of Rituxan 25 years ago after I asked for it.
Then after 16 years of remission, I am glad I had Rituxan!
Then I took 2 years of every two months Rituxan and had diarrhea that had me ask to stop it. That was against Dr.s recommendation. I am fortunate to still be in remission 51/2 years later
