Any Rituximab Users Try Truxima?
My insurance has denied me rituximab, which I have been using with great success since 2017. They insist I use Truxima, one of the biosimilars.
About 3 years ago, they gave me Ruxience, another biosimilar. While it worked for the MG, I had six weeks of skin and lymph node reactions which necessitated the use of steroids, which I had been off of for 6 years. Sigh.
At that time, it was put in my chart that I was to have Rituximab only….until now. And to top it off, I can only do it at home, which would be great, if I was getting Rituximab. I have been assured that the nurse will have a “crash kit” with her should I react and hey, I am only 8 minutes away from a hospital. How comforting…
Anyone use Truxima? How’d it go?
