    How Often Do You Need to Use Rituximab to Maintain Disease Control?

    Let's get some info on ritux!

    I can't answer the question yet, because I haven't used it long enough. We might not have enough long-term rtx users yet to conduct this poll.

    How often do you need to use rituximab to maintain disease control

    Regarding frequency....My daughter started rituximab November of '06, and has required infusions at approximate 6 month intervals to avoid disease reoccurance. This correlates with the regeneration of B cells, which for her occurs at approx'ly 6-9 months. (3 year 7 month history), with some of that time accompanied by methotrexate.

    Yours,
    Jane (Palmyra, mom of Alison, Crohn's'99, Weg'06)
