My Father -in-Law has sud=ffered from RA for 40 years. he was useing enbril and developed a terrible rash all over his body. It was awful and took 2 years to clear. His Dr. has suggested Rituxan as an alternative but I have seen that a rash can be a side effect. Has anyone had any experience with this treatment
I'm going for a 2nd treatment . 1st treatment worked well(the BEST of any drug so far) with no bad reactions. Good luck.

I had two Rituxan infusions in November with no side effects whatsoever. Unfortunately, I'm also not seeing any results, but I know it has worked for others.
SORRY IT IS NOT WORKING, WE HAD HEARD OF ISSUES WITH SERIOUS RASHES
Hi i'm new here,
I just wanted to add my 2 cents i recieved my first 2 infusions in May 15, & 31st last year and i was so unsure of how it would work i did feel like i had a cold and got a fever but that only lasted i day and the same for the second infusion but it worked quite well it did take about 2 months for me to really feel the difference but it lasted till January this year and i'm due to get my second set of them on Tuesday the 12th.
As for the rash i never got one and i do seem to be sensitve to those things that is why Remacade didn't work for me i would get a terrible rash and my blood presure would drop drasticly.
Any way i think this treatment is great i'm glad i got to use it Good luck
Skyla.
