What To Avoid While Taking Rituxan?

While on Rituxan therapy, you must follow some precautions. Always tell your physician about any medication you are already taking. Do not take any drug or medicine (even herbals or over-the-counter medications) without prior consent from your physician or pharmacist, as they may interact with Rituxan.

Avoid any kind of immunization or vaccination without prior consent from your physician. Avoid alcohol as it may enhance the side effects of the treatment. A common side effect during and immediately after treatment is dizziness; therefore, avoid driving or any task that may require concentration.
