About REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION

  • REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION contains the active ingredient rituximab. It's used to treat various conditions in adults, either alone or with other medications. These conditions include non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (cancer of white blood cells called B-lymphocytes) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (a common cancer affecting B-cells). It's also used with methotrexate to treat moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis (where the immune system attacks the joints). Additionally, it treats granulomatosis with polyangiitis or microscopic polyangiitis (inflammation of blood vessels affecting the lungs and kidneys) in adults and children 2 years and older. It can also treat moderate to severe pemphigus vulgaris (an autoimmune condition causing painful blisters on the skin, mouth, throat, nose, and genitals).
  • REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION belongs to a class of medications called anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. Avoid this injection if you're allergic to rituximab or any of its ingredients, have a weak immune system, or have an active, severe infection. Before starting treatment, tell your doctor if you have heart disease, heart failure, or breathing problems. Also, inform them if you've ever had a hepatitis B infection, as it can reactivate. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are not recommended while using this injection.
  • Common side effects of REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION include blood infection, reduced red blood cells, dizziness, swelling in the face and body, itchy skin, diarrhea, increased sweating, and low or high blood pressure. Use effective contraception during treatment and for 12 months after the last dose if you are able to become pregnant. This medicine may cause severe infusion reactions during or within 24 hours of administration. Tell your doctor or nurse right away if you experience infusion reactions like increased blood pressure, chest pain, headache, trouble breathing, vomiting, skin rashes, or throat swelling. Your healthcare provider will monitor you closely during and after the infusion to manage any potential reactions. Regular blood tests may also be necessary to monitor your blood cell counts and liver function during treatment. It’s important to maintain open communication with your doctor throughout your treatment with REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION to address any concerns or side effects promptly.

Uses of REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION

  • Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) refers to a group of blood cancers that develop from lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION may be used in the treatment of certain types of NHL.
  • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. It is characterized by the gradual increase of abnormal lymphocytes. REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION might be considered as a treatment option.
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects the joints, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness. REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION can be used to manage the symptoms and progression of Rheumatoid Arthritis.
  • Granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis are rare autoimmune diseases that cause inflammation of blood vessels. REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION may be used to treat these conditions by reducing the activity of the immune system.
  • Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes painful blisters on the skin and mucous membranes. REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION may be prescribed to help control the immune response and reduce blister formation.

Safety Advice for REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTIONArrow

default alt

Pregnancy

UNSAFE

REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION is unsafe to administer in pregnant women because it may affect the fetus. Inform your physician if you are pregnant, suspect pregnancy, or planning to become pregnant. Using an effective birth control method during the treatment and for 12 months after your last dose is necessary.

Dosage of REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTIONArrow

  • REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION must be administered exclusively by a qualified healthcare professional, such as a trained doctor or nurse. Self-administration of this injection is strictly prohibited. Prior to receiving REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION, you will be pre-medicated with other medications to minimize potential side effects. These pre-medications are essential for ensuring a smoother and more comfortable treatment experience.
  • The precise dosage and duration of your REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION treatment will be determined by your doctor, taking into careful consideration the severity of your condition, your overall health status, and other relevant factors. This personalized approach ensures that you receive the most appropriate and effective treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
  • REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION is administered intravenously, meaning it is delivered directly into your bloodstream through a vein. During the infusion process, you will be closely monitored by healthcare professionals for any adverse reactions or unwanted side effects. This vigilant monitoring ensures your safety and allows for immediate intervention if necessary. It's crucial to promptly report any discomfort or unusual symptoms experienced during or after the infusion to the medical staff.

How to store REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION?Arrow

  • Keep REDITUX RA 500MG INJ 50ML away from the reach of children and pets.
  • Store REDITUX RA 500MG INJ 50ML in a refrigerator (2 - 8°C). Do not freeze.

Benefits of REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTIONArrow

  • REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION is a specialized medication containing a monoclonal antibody that precisely targets the CD20 antigen. This antigen is found on the surface of B-lymphocytes, a specific type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune system. By targeting CD20, REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION effectively induces cell death in Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), both of which involve abnormal proliferation of B-cells.
  • The mechanism of action involves REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION binding to the B-cell, which then disrupts the normal functioning of these cells. This binding action effectively blocks cell activation and inhibits their growth, leading to significant anticancer effects. This targeted approach helps to control the progression of these cancers by eliminating the cancerous B-cells.
  • Furthermore, in the context of rheumatoid arthritis, REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION plays a crucial role in modulating the immune response. It inhibits the production of rheumatoid factor, which is an antibody associated with the disease. It also interferes with antigen presentation, T-cell activation, and the production of proinflammatory cytokines, all of which contribute to the inflammation and joint damage seen in rheumatoid arthritis.

How to use REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTIONArrow

  • REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION must be administered strictly by a qualified doctor or nurse. Self-administration is strictly prohibited due to the potential for severe side effects that require immediate medical attention. Prior to receiving REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION, you will be administered pre-medications. These pre-medications are essential to minimize the risk and severity of potential side effects associated with the infusion. These medications may include antihistamines, paracetamol, or corticosteroids. Your doctor will carefully determine the appropriate dosage and duration of your REDITUX RA 500MG INJECTION treatment. This decision will be based on a comprehensive evaluation of your specific condition, its severity, and other relevant individual health factors. The injection will be administered as a slow intravenous infusion directly into your vein. During the infusion, you will be under close and continuous monitoring by healthcare professionals. This monitoring is crucial to detect any early signs of adverse reactions or side effects. The medical staff is trained to manage any complications that may arise during the infusion process promptly and effectively. If you experience any unusual symptoms or discomfort during or after the infusion, inform your doctor or nurse immediately.
  • This ensures your safety and well-being throughout the treatment.
