Does more Rituxan make a difference?

Good Morning:
I reached out to my doctor to see what the possibility of Rituxan for my PMR and she indicated that it is still in the experimental stages for PMR treatment. Is anyone on this thread using this drug for PMR?

Hi, just a thought. Since Rituxan is already approved drug, you may be able to get it off label, if your doctor believes it may help. Actemra and Humira may be other 2 options from already approved drugs that target in some ways Interleukin-6, but for PMR would be off label as well. Humira worked better for my SS joint inflammation prior to transplant, and it was easier to tolerate. Hope this helps.
