It was used as an alternative treatment for my Auto-Immune Disease (ITP). The treatment sessions was unpleasant. The results of the treatment have been amazing. I've been at a stable level for 9 months now. Thank you Doctors & Nurses! Published: October 03, 2007 ::

I have nothing but good to say about this drug! I have used it for 4 years and it has changed my life! I only have infusions once a year and have not had any adverse side effects. It is wonderful! Published: January 07, 2008 ::

Rituxan IV has been every effective in the treatment of my ITP (autoimmune disease). My platelets have risen in number. I am so thankful to my doctor and physcian assistant for looking for alternative methods of treatment for my autoimmune disease. Published: December 28, 2007 ::

Miracle drug! I was at Stage 4 non-hodgkins lymphoma and after my first treatment my spleen and lymph nodes were all normal and the fluid around my lung was gone and after my 4th treatment I was cancer free and have been for 3 years now. I did receive Rituxan every six months for two years to prevent the cancer from returning and had no side effects! Great drug! Published: August 01, 2008 ::

This drug worked for me. I had ITP and was down to 4,000. I know have 175,000. I had no problems with this drug. Published: January 16, 2008 ::

I take tylenol and benedryl before treatment. That helps with any possible side affects. (fever and allergic reaction). When I get the infusion it takes 5 hours, they give it very slowly to determine how it will affect you. My blood pressure usually goes down, which is not serious, but it happens. I am fortunate that I do not experience any other side affects from the drug. Published: November 30, 2007 ::

I was at stage 4 non hodgkins lymphoma, went on the Rituxan and six months later was cancer free, no hair loss or bad side effects, only a little sleep loss the day of treatment due to the other drugs involved.Did 2yrs of preventative treatment one week every 6 months. Still cancer free after three year. Thank You Rituxan !! Published: November 28, 2008 ::

My hematologist perscribed this medication for my chronic ITP (platelets below 5,000) and I had already had my spleen removed for the initial occurance 9 years ago. The initial treatment was very unpleasant, it gave me hot and cold flashes, chronic cough and my throat went numb. In the three following treatments they increased the benadryl and decadron they gave me prior to initiating treatment which caused no side effects during the treatment but for 12-48 hours I have facial flushing, swelling of my hands and feet, headaches and trouble sleeping. I also have horrible heatburn and feel fatigued all the time. On the bright side my platelets are up and better than they have been in 6 weeks. The excellent medical care I have received helps also. All in all I would recommend it but only as a last resort. Published: May 02, 2008 ::

I just started my second round of infusions. I have the second in this series in two weeks, then I'm done for another 6 months. This one went much smoother than the first round. I had an allergic reaction during my treatment and it took 6 hours to complete. I have to take Benadryl and Steroids along with the Rituxin. I slept most of my treatment from the Benadryl and then couldn't sleep that night from the Steroids! Other than being a little achy and having the chills, I feel fine. Hallelujah!!
