About Reditux RA Injection 1's

Reditux RA Injection 1's belongs to a class of medicines called monoclonal antibodies used in the treatment of non-Hodgkin’s disease and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. This medicine is also used in treating rheumatoid arthritis in combination with methotrexate and granulomatosis in combination with glucocorticoids. It is also used to treat Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV) and mature B-cell acute leukaemia (B-AL).

Reditux RA Injection 1's contains Rituximab, which works by inhibiting the DNA and RNA transcription that is essential for cancer cell growth. This helps prevent the growth and further spread of cancerous or non-cancerous cells. On the other hand, Reditux RA Injection 1's works by interfering with the immune system process that causes inflammation in the joint tissues. Thus, it reduces pain and inflammation and prevents joint damage and disease progression over time

Reditux RA Injection 1's is a parenteral preparation. A trained healthcare professional will administer it. Hence, do not self-administer.
