I have pemphigus vulgaris and I am on omnacortil medicine as of now. My condition is not improving and my doctor has asked me to go for Rituximab injections. Does these injections provide speedy recovery and hope I don't have to take it again and again, right? Can you please brief?

Dear lybrate-user. Rituximab is a costly drug but it doesn't have side effects as those of omnacortil. Pemphigus vulgaris is not a one time disease. But we have no other option than taking medicines. I would prefer rituximab over omnacortil if affordability is not an issue.
