RITUXAN is monoclonal antibody that is used to treat:
Blood cancers
- Certain types of CD20-positive non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) in adults and children ages 6 months and older

How does RITUXAN work?
RITUXAN is a monoclonal antibody. It targets specific immune cells called B cells that can be involved in a range of different health conditions. For example, B cells sometimes turn into cancer cells. Other times, they become overly active and cause autoimmune conditions. RITUXAN works by attaching a specific protein on the B cells called CD20. When it does so, it signals to the body to attack and kill that cell. As a result, these abnormal or overly active B cells can’t grow, spread, or work as well.
How do I take RITUXAN?
Your provider will determine your dose of RITUXAN based on your body surface area (BSA) in m². This medication is typically given by a healthcare provider in a hospital or infusion clinic setting. Your provider might also give you other anticancer medications along with RITUXAN.
Is it safe for me to take RITUXAN?
RITUXAN is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you.
