Dear Dr. Edwards or other knowledgeable people,
Someone I know met with a rheumatologist for rituximab treatment for CFS. The physician said that if the patient receives 1g at day zero and 1 g at week two, then there could be problems if 500 mg are administered at 3 months resulting from low immunoglobulins. He suggested 500 mg at day zero, week two and 3 months or 1 g day zero, 1 g day 15 and no treatment at 3 months and then 500 g at 6 months. Thoughts on this?
Also what about co-administration of rituximab with methotrexate? He also recommended this.
Thank you
