Hi,
These drugs help reduce inflammation but can have long-term side effects. Researchers found that one of these drugs, rituximab effectively treats severe cases of certain forms of vasculitis. These include granulomatosis with polyangiitis, microscopic polyangiitis and cryoglobulinemic vasculitis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
