About X-MAB 500 INJECTION
- X-MAB 500 INJECTION contains the active medicine called rituximab. This injection is used to treat several different serious health conditions in adults, and sometimes in children too. It helps fight certain types of cancer that affect white blood cells, like Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. It works by targeting specific cells involved in these cancers. X-MAB 500 INJECTION is also used for certain autoimmune diseases where the body's defense system mistakenly attacks its own parts. This includes moderate-to-severe Rheumatoid Arthritis (a disease causing joint pain and swelling), usually given with another medicine called methotrexate. It also treats inflammation of blood vessels (Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis and Microscopic Polyangiitis), and Pemphigus Vulgaris, a skin condition causing painful blisters.
- X-MAB 500 INJECTION belongs to a group of medicines called 'monoclonal antibodies' that specifically target certain cells, in this case, cells with a marker called CD20, often found on B-cells. This helps the medicine work against the diseases it treats. You should not receive this injection if you are allergic to rituximab or any of its ingredients, have a very weak immune system, or currently have a severe active infection. It's crucial to tell your doctor about your medical history, especially if you have heart problems, heart failure, or difficulty breathing, as this medicine can affect the heart and lungs. Also, mention if you have ever had Hepatitis B infection. In some cases, this virus can become active again while on this treatment, which can be serious. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are generally not advised when taking X-MAB 500 INJECTION and for some time afterward, so discuss this with your doctor.
- X-MAB 500 INJECTION is given as an infusion into a vein, usually in a hospital or clinic setting by a healthcare professional. Like all medicines, it can have side effects. Common ones include signs of infection, lower numbers of red blood cells (feeling tired), dizziness, swelling (especially in the face or body), itchy skin, diarrhea, increased sweating, and changes in blood pressure (either low or high). If you are a woman who could become pregnant, it is very important to use effective birth control during treatment and for up to 12 months after your last dose. A potentially serious side effect is an 'infusion reaction' that can happen during or soon after the infusion. Symptoms can include changes in blood pressure, chest pain, headache, trouble breathing, vomiting, skin rash, or throat swelling. You will be monitored closely during the infusion. If you notice any of these symptoms, tell the doctor or nurse right away. Always discuss any concerns or potential side effects with your healthcare provider.

These pre-medications are given to help minimize or reduce potential side effects. The exact amount of X-MAB 500 INJECTION you receive and how long your treatment lasts will be determined by your doctor. This decision is based on the specific condition being treated, how severe it is, your overall health, and how you respond to the treatment. The medication is administered directly into your vein through an intravenous (IV) infusion, which means it will be given slowly over a period of time. While you receive the infusion, and for some time afterward, you will be closely watched by the medical staff to check for any reactions or side effects that might occur. Your safety is their priority throughout the process.
