RITUXAN^® Treatment

At VIP Rheumatology, your health and well-being are our top priorities. Our collaborative care model is designed to put you, the patient, at the forefront, ensuring a VIP experience throughout your journey to better health. Explore how RITUXAN^® (rituximab) treatment, tailored to your needs, can provide effective management for adults with moderately to severely active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) as well as certain types of vasculitis, including Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA) and Microscopic Polyangiitis (MPA).

What is RITUXAN^®?

RITUXAN^® is a targeted biologic treatment approved for adults with moderately to severely active Rheumatoid Arthritis who have had an inadequate response to one or more TNF antagonist therapies, as well as for patients with certain types of vasculitis. As part of VIP Rheumatology’s comprehensive care approach, RITUXAN^® provides an FDA-approved treatment that works by targeting specific B cells (CD20-positive B cells) that contribute to the inflammatory process in these conditions.

With RITUXAN^®, many patients experience significant benefits:

Reduction in signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis
Slowing of joint damage progression when used with methotrexate
Improvement in physical function and mobility
Effective management of vasculitis conditions including GPA and MPA
Long-lasting results that may extend up to six months between treatments

One remarkable feature of RITUXAN^® is its ability to provide extended relief with fewer treatment sessions compared to some other therapies. By targeting specific B cells in the immune system, RITUXAN^® offers a more targeted approach to managing these autoimmune conditions. Many patients experience noticeable improvements in symptoms that can last for months after treatment.

Treatment Schedule

If you are prescribed RITUXAN^®, your treatment plan will be personalized based on your specific condition:

For Rheumatoid Arthritis:

Treatment typically consists of two infusions separated by two weeks
Subsequent courses may be administered based on your response and as determined by your doctor, usually not sooner than every 16-24 weeks

For Vasculitis (GPA and MPA):

Treatment schedules are tailored to your specific condition and response

RITUXAN^® is administered as an intravenous infusion by a VIP healthcare professional, ensuring proper administration and monitoring throughout your treatment journey.
