Rituxan (Rituximab) - Life-Threatening

 

FDA And Genentech Warned The Public About Rituxan (Rituximab). FDA and Genentech informed healthcare professionals of important emerging safety information about Rituxan. Two patients died after being treated with ‘Rituxan’ for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). ‘Rituxan’ is approved for the above indication and is prescribed off-label for other serious diseases and conditions such as SLE.

Cause Of Death Was Called PML

The cause of death was a viral infection of the brain called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) that is caused by reactivated JC virus which is present in about 80 percent of adults. Physicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for the development of PML in patients under treatment with ‘Rituxan’.

I'd like to say a few words about Joanne Stevens, NP. From the first phone call she answered ALL my questions and set me at ease with her knowledge and empathy. She calls me frequently and anytime I call her and get her VM, she returns my call within 24 hrs. without fail. I gave her 5 stars but she deserves 10. Thank you Joanne Stevens, just THANK YOU.
