Cytomab 500mg Injection contains the active ingredient Rituximab. It is prescribed to treat a range of conditions in adults. This medicine is used alone or in combination with other drugs to manage non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (a type of cancer affecting B-lymphocytes) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (a common B-cell cancer). It is also indicated for treating moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune disease affecting joints) in adults when used with methotrexate. Additionally, it is used to treat granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis (inflammatory conditions of blood vessels that typically affect the lungs and kidneys) in adults and children aged 2 years and above. Cytomab is also prescribed for moderate to severe pemphigus vulgaris, an autoimmune disorder causing painful blisters on the skin and mucous membranes.

Cytomab 500mg belongs to a class of medicines called anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. You should not use this injection if you are allergic to rituximab or any of its components, have a compromised immune system, or suffer from severe active infections. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, heart failure, or respiratory conditions. It’s important to notify your doctor if you’ve ever had a hepatitis B infection, as the virus can reactivate and lead to serious complications during treatment. This medication is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Common side effects include blood infections, low red blood cell count, dizziness, facial or body swelling, itchy skin, diarrhea, excessive sweating, and changes in blood pressure. Women who may become pregnant should use effective birth control during treatment and for 12 months after the final dose. Severe infusion-related reactions may occur during or within 24 hours of administration. Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience symptoms like chest pain, high blood pressure, headache, breathing difficulties, vomiting, rash, or throat swelling.
