What is in this leaflet
What Truxima is Truxima contains the active substance rituximab . This is a type of protein called a monoclonal antibody . It sticks to the surface of a type of white blood cell called B-Lymphocyte . When rituximab sticks to the surface of this cell, the cell dies.
What Truxima is used for Truxima may be used for the treatment of several different conditions in adults and children. Your doctor may prescribe Truxima for the treatment of:
a) Non-Hodgkin s Lymphoma This is a disease of the lymph tissue (part of the immune system) that affects a type of white blood cell called B-Lymphocytes. In adults, Truxima can be given alone or with other medicines called chemotherapy . In adult patients where the treatment is working, Truxima may be used as a maintenance treatment for 2 years after completing the initial treatment. In children and adolescents, Truxima is given in combination with chemotherapy .
b) Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is the most common form of adult leukaemia. CLL affects a particular lymphocyte, the B cell, which originates from the bone marrow and develops in the lymph nodes. Patients with CLL have too many abnormal lymphocytes, which accumulate mainly in the bone marrow and blood. The proliferation of these abnormal B-lymphocytes is the cause of symptoms you may have. Truxima in combination with chemotherapy destroys these cells which are gradually removed from the body by biological processes.
c) Rheumatoid arthritis Truxima is used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease of the joints. B-lymphocytes are involved in the cause of some of the symptoms you have. Truxima is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis in people who have already tried some other medicines which have either stopped working, have not worked well enough or have caused side effects. Truxima is usually taken together with another medicine called methotrexate.
Truxima slows down the damage to your joints caused by rheumatoid arthritis and improves your ability to do normal daily activities.
Truxima works best in those who have a positive blood test to rheumatoid factor (RF) and/or anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP). Both tests are commonly positive in rheumatoid arthritis and aid in confirming the diagnosis.
d) Granulomatosis with polyangiitis or microscopic polyangiitis Truxima is used for the treatment of adults and children 2 years of age and older with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly called Wegener s granulomatosis) or microscopic polyangiitis, taken in combination with corticosteroids. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis are two forms of inflammation of the blood vessels which mainly affects the lungs and kidneys, but may affect other organs as well. B-lymphocytes are involved in the cause of these conditions.
e) Pemphigus vulgaris Truxima is used for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe pemphigus vulgaris. Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune condition that causes painful blisters on the skin and lining of the mouth, nose, throat and genitals.
Do not take Truxima if:
Do not have Truxima if any of the above apply to you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before you are given Truxima.
Warnings and precautions Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before you are given Truxima if:
If any of the above apply to you (or you are not sure), talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before you are given Truxima. Your doctor may need to take special care of you during your treatment with Truxima.
If you have rheumatoid arthritis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, microscopic polyangiitis or pemphigus vulgaris also tell your doctor
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis or microscopic polyangiitis Truxima can be used for treatment of children and adolescents, 2 years of age and older, with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly called Wegener s granulomatosis) or microscopic polyangiitis. There is not much information about the use of Truxima in children and adolescents with other diseases. Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before you are given this medicine if you, or your child, are under 18 years of age.
Other medicines and Truxima Tell your doctor, pharmacist or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines. This includes medicines obtained without a prescription and herbal medicines. This is because Truxima can affect the way some other medicines work. Also some other medicines can affect the way Truxima works.
In particular, tell your doctor:
If any of the above apply to you (or you are not sure), talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before you are given Truxima.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding You must tell your doctor or nurse if you are pregnant, think that you might be pregnant or are planning to become pregnant. This is because Truxima can across the placenta and may affect your baby.
If you can get pregnant, you and your partner must use an effective method of contraception while using Truxima. You must also do this for 12 months after your last treatment with Truxima.
Truxima passes into breast milk in very small amounts. As the long-term effects on breastfed infants are not known, for precautionary reasons, breast-feeding is not recommended during treatment with Truxima and for 6 months after the treatment.
Driving and using machines Rituximab has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines.
Truxima contains sodium This medicine contains 52.6 mg sodium (main component of cooking/table salt) in each 10 mL vial and 263.2 mg sodium (main component of cooking/table salt) in each 50 mL vial.
This is equivalent to 2.6% (for 10 mL vial) and 13.2% (for 50 mL vial) of the recommended maximum daily dietary intake of sodium for an adult.
How Truxima is given Truxima will be given to you by a doctor or nurse who is experienced in the use of this treatment. They will watch you closely while you are being given this medicine. This is in case you get any side effects. You will always be given Truxima as a drip (intravenous infusion).
Medicines given before each Truxima administration Before you are given Truxima, you will be given other medicines (pre-medication) to prevent or reduce possible side effects.
How much and how often you will receive your treatment
a) If you are being treated for non-Hodgkin s Lymphoma
b) If you are being treated for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia When you are treated with Truxima in combination with chemotherapy, you will receive Truxima infusions on day 0 cycle 1 then day 1 of each cycle for 6 cycles in total. Each cycle has a duration of 28 days. The chemotherapy should be given after the Truxima infusion. Your doctor will decide if you should receive concomitant supportive therapy.
c) If you are being treated for rheumatoid arthritis Each course of treatment is made up of two separate infusions which are given 2 weeks apart. Repeated courses of treatment with Truxima are possible. Depending on the signs and symptoms of your disease, your doctor will decide when you should receive more Truxima. This may be months from now.
d) If you are being treated for granulomatosis with polyangiitis or microscopic polyangiitis
Treatment with Truxima uses four separate infusions given at weekly intervals. Corticosteroids will usually be given by injection before the start of Truxima treatment. Corticosteroids given by mouth may be started at any time by your doctor to treat your condition. If you are 18 years of age and older and respond well to treatment, you may be given Truxima as a maintenance treatment. This will be administered as 2 separate infusions which are given 2 weeks apart, followed by 1 infusion every 6 months for at least 2 years. Your doctor may decide to treat you longer with Truxima (up to 5 years), depending on how you respond to the medicine.
e) If you are being treated for pemphigus vulgaris Each course of treatment is made up of two separate infusions which are given 2 weeks apart. If you respond well to treatment, you may be given Truxima as a maintenance treatment. This will be administered 1 year and 18 months after the initial treatment and then every 6 months as needed or your doctor may change this, depending on how you respond to the medicine.
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.

If you have heart disease or angina, these reactions might get worse. Tell the person giving you the infusion immediately if you or your child develops any of these symptoms, as the infusion may need to be slowed down or stopped. You may require additional treatment such as an antihistamine or paracetamol. When these symptoms go away, or improve, the infusion can be continued. These reactions are less likely to happen after the second infusion. Your doctor may decide to stop your Truxima treatment if these reactions are serious.
