Is Rituximab The Right Medication For Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Hi, I am waiting to be called up to take rituximab and I am quite nervous. What are your thoughts please? The reason why it is being prescribed is it seems I have rheumatoid arthritis and I have not responded to triple DMard treatment, enbrel or humira. I am on prednisone and humira at present while I wait for call up

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the condition of rheumatoid arthritis the medicine must have been prescribed for the same, although no cure is still there for the disease but it can be very well managed medically hope this information helps.
