Ritcema 100mg Injection

Ritcema 100mg Injection contains rituximab as its active ingredient and is prescribed for various medical conditions in adults. It can be used alone or in combination with other medications to treat non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (a type of cancer affecting B-lymphocytes, a form of white blood cells) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (a common cancer involving B-cells). Additionally, it is indicated for the treatment of moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis in adults, in combination with methotrexate, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints. Ritcema is also used to manage granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis—conditions involving inflammation of blood vessels primarily affecting the lungs and kidneys—in adults and children aged 2 years and older. Moreover, it is effective in treating moderate to severe pemphigus vulgaris, an autoimmune disorder that causes painful blisters on the skin and mucous membranes of the mouth, throat, nose, and genitals.

Ritcema 100mg Injection belongs to a class of medications known as anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. You should not receive this injection if you are allergic to rituximab or any of its components, have a weakened immune system, or are suffering from a serious active infection. Inform your doctor if you have any heart conditions, heart failure, or respiratory issues before starting treatment. Also, let your physician know if you have ever had a hepatitis B infection, as the virus may reactivate during treatment and cause serious complications. This medicine is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Common side effects of Ritcema 100mg Injection may include blood infections, low red blood cell count, dizziness, swelling of the face or body, itchy skin, diarrhea, increased sweating, and fluctuations in blood pressure. Women who are capable of becoming pregnant should use effective contraception during treatment and for 12 months after the last dose. Ritcema may also cause serious infusion-related reactions during or within 24 hours of administration. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms such as high blood pressure, chest pain, headache, difficulty breathing, vomiting, skin rashes, or swelling of the throat.
