Dear patient, systemic scleroderma is an auto-immune disease, rituximab is a very good and potent drug for better control of this type of diseases. And side effects to saari drugs ki hoti hai. But risk-benefit dekhna hota hai. Agar aapka disease/condition me side effects ye jyada fayda kar rhi hai drug to definitely aapko wo drug leni chahiye. Lekin kisi rheumatologist ke regular follow up me rehna. Kyuki side effects monitor ho ske .akshar rituximab se white blood cells kam ho jaate hai aue dusre infecfions ka khatra badh jata hai.
