What Is Rituximab Used For, and How Does It Work? - #15265
I recently heard about Rituximab, and I’m trying to understand what it’s used for and how it works. From what I’ve read, Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody used to treat autoimmune diseases and certain cancers, but what exactly does it do in the body? I know it’s commonly prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis, lymphoma, and leukemia, but how does it work for different conditions? Does it suppress the immune system, and does that increase the risk of infections? What are the most common side effects of Rituximab? I’ve read that some people experience infusion reactions, fever, chills, and low blood cell counts—how serious are these side effects? Are there any natural or Ayurvedic treatments that complement Rituximab therapy? Do herbs like Ashwagandha, Giloy, and Turmeric help with immune system balance and inflammation? If anyone has taken Rituximab, what was your experience like? Did it help with your condition, and how did you manage any side effects?
