Greetings! My father 82 years old, completed 6 cycles of R-COP (every 21 days), and one Rituximab (Roche). He still has to receive one more Rituximab and thereafter will be placed on maintenance Rituximab (once in 2 months) for next two years. However, after completing one cycle of Rituximab he started having trouble with left eye, headache and left ear pain. His PET-CT scan month ago was clear except for one tiny lymoh node in thorax. Please advise
Hi, Common side effects of Rituximab include headache, fever with chills and rigors, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gastritis and heartburn, flushing etc. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
