Although there are many listed possible side effects for rituximab, the most common are allergic reactions during the infusion and mild fatigue. The allergic reactions are usually well-managed by the treatment team. Fatigue generally lasts 24-48 hours and is generally mild enough to not interfere with normal activities. I've had six infusions, and the only side effect I've had is mild fatigue that lasts about a day.
