Rictema 500mg Injection contains rituximab, a targeted anticancer and immunotherapy medicine used primarily in the treatment of certain blood cancers such as non‑Hodgkin’s lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Rituximab may also be used in adults to treat certain autoimmune conditions like moderate‑to‑severe rheumatoid arthritis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis, and pemphigus vulgaris, depending on your doctor’s recommendation. It works by targeting and destroying specific white blood cells (B lymphocytes) that contribute to cancer or abnormal immune activity. Your doctor will explain why it is suitable for you.

Rictema 500mg Injection is given by a healthcare professional as an intravenous infusion into a vein, usually in a clinic or hospital setting. It should not be self‑administered. Your doctor will decide the correct dose, infusion schedule and duration based on your condition and how you respond to treatment. Rituximab is typically infused slowly to help reduce the risk of infusion‑related reactions.

Common side effects may include infusion‑related reactions (such as fever, chills, headache, nausea, vomiting and rash), lowered blood counts, infections, dizziness, fatigue and flu‑like symptoms. More serious side effects can occur such as severe allergic reactions, reactivation of hepatitis B, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (a rare brain infection), severe skin reactions and heart‑related problems. Contact your doctor immediately if you notice severe, persistent or unusual symptoms.

You can obtain Rictema 500mg Injection from licensed pharmacies or oncology supply centres with a valid prescription. Contact Macarius Health to check availability and pricing.

Store Rictema 500mg Injection in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C and do not freeze. Protect it from light and keep the vial in its original packaging out of reach of children and pets. Do not use the medicine if it has been frozen or is past its expiry date.

Tell your doctor about all other medicines, supplements or herbal products you are taking. Some medicines may interact with rituximab or affect how it works, or increase the risk of side effects. Your doctor may adjust your treatment or monitoring accordingly.

Rictema 500mg Injection is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding unless clearly advised by your doctor, as rituximab may be harmful to a developing fetus or nursing infant. Discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider before starting treatment.
