About

Cytomab 100mg Injection contains the active ingredient rituximab, a medication used to treat various conditions in adults. It is prescribed alone or in combination with other drugs for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (a cancer of B-lymphocytes) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (a common type of cancer affecting B-cells). In adults, it is also used alongside methotrexate to treat moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune disorder targeting joint tissues). Additional indications include granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis—both are inflammatory conditions affecting blood vessels in the lungs and kidneys—and moderate-to-severe pemphigus vulgaris, an autoimmune disease that causes painful blisters on the skin and mucous membranes.

Cytomab belongs to a class of medications known as anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. Do not use this medicine if you are allergic to rituximab or any of its components, have a weakened immune system, or are suffering from a serious infection. Inform your doctor if you have any heart conditions, breathing issues, or a history of hepatitis B, as the virus may reactivate and cause serious complications.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are not recommended while using this medication. Common side effects include bloodstream infections, anemia, dizziness, facial and body swelling, itching, diarrhea, excessive sweating, and changes in blood pressure. Women of childbearing age should use effective contraception during treatment and for 12 months following the final dose.

Cytomab 100mg Injection may cause serious infusion-related reactions either during the administration or within 24 hours.
