Rituxan Hycela Dosage

Before you can start Rituxan Hycela, your oncologist will give you at least one full dose of a rituximab intravenous infusion to see if you experience any serious allergic reactions.

• Follicular lymphoma: The typical dose is Rituxan Hycela 1,400 mg/23,400 units (rituximab / hyaluronidase) injected under the skin. How often you’ll receive a dose usually ranges from weekly to every 8 weeks, depending on the type of NHL you have and where you are in the treatment process.
• Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: The typical dose is Rituxan Hycela 1,400 mg/23,400 units (rituximab / hyaluronidase) injected under the skin, typically once every 3 weeks. Treatment usually lasts about 6 months.
• Chronic lymphocytic leukemia: The typical dose is Rituxan Hycela 1,600 mg/26,800 units (rituximab / hyaluronidase) injected under the skin, typically given once every 4 weeks. Treatment usually lasts 6 months.

Your oncologist might also give you other anticancer medications, as well as premedications to help prevent an allergic reaction, with each Rituxan Hycela dose.
