Rituxin and heart rate
« on: December 31, 2008, 09:33:48 PM »
Andy,

A thalassemia patient in India - who was experiencing antibodies had her first infusion with rituxan.  During the treatment her heartbeat increased to 150.  She is a little reluctant to have a second treatment.  She is transfusing twice a week and the iron levels are increasing.  Is it safe to continue rituximab treatment?

Thank you,

Sharmin
