Rituxirel RN 500mg Injection

Rituxirel RN 500mg Injection contains rituximab, an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody. It is used in adults to treat various types of blood cancers including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). It also manages autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), when used with methotrexate, as well as granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis (inflammatory conditions affecting blood vessels). Additionally, it is prescribed for pemphigus vulgaris, a rare condition causing painful skin blisters and sores in the mouth, throat, and other areas. This injection works by targeting specific white blood cells called B-lymphocytes, which may grow abnormally in cancer or behave incorrectly in autoimmune conditions. Rituxirel RN 500mg is administered under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional. It is not recommended if you are allergic to rituximab, have severe infections, or have a weakened immune system. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have heart or lung problems, or a history of hepatitis B infection, as the virus can reactivate during treatment. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid this injection. Effective contraception is advised during treatment and for at least 12 months after the last dose. Common side effects may include low red blood cells, infections, itchy skin, swelling, diarrhoea, or changes in blood pressure. Serious side effects such as infusion-related reactions, chest pain, or difficulty breathing should be reported to your doctor immediately.

Rituxirel RN 500mg Injection targets CD20 proteins found on B-cells, a type of white blood cell. In cancer, it helps kill these abnormal cells. In autoimmune diseases, it reduces inflammation by lowering the number of B-cells that wrongly attack the body’s own tissues. This helps improve symptoms and slow disease progression.

Side effects are unwanted symptoms caused by medicines. Even though all drugs cause side effects, not everyone gets them. Common Swelling in the face and body Diarrhea and nausea Itchy skin Anemia Muscle spasm Headache Urinary tract infection Fever, chills, and shivering Inflammation of nasal cavities Cough, sore throat Loss of hair Serious Increased or decreased blood pressure Chest pain Hypersensitivity reactions Hepatitis B viral infection Memory loss, trouble thinking, difficulty in walking

Avoid live vaccines before, during, and after treatment until your doctor advises it’s safe. Always inform your doctor about your full medical history, especially if you've had heart, liver, or lung conditions. If you're planning a pregnancy, wait at least 12 months after the last dose. Report any new or recurring infections, unusual tiredness, or unexplained symptoms to your healthcare provider.
