How long do the side effects of rituximab last ?

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    Side effects will vary person to person. I am not sure whether you are taking this drug, or have recently finished having it. Some side effects diminish quickly whilst others will take longer to reduce. This can be months in some cases. We have information on rituximab on our website.

    Do speak with your hospital team, or your hospital clinical nurse specialist (CNS), who can advise you more specifically about this. 

    I hope this helps,

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Yours sincerely,

    Vanda
