The immunology of Rituximab is well-understood and it can be effective in treating many auto-immune diseases though, same as any other treatment, it can have adverse side-effects.
It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, a list of the most important medications needed in a basic health system ( http://www.who.int/medicines/publica...5_8-May-15.pdf).
Maybe you could seek the views of your neurologist about this? |
I couldn't agree more with you. It concerns me a lot too. I will just have to hope that my new rheumatologist is more enlightened!
