A member asked:
Will you lose your hair if you get rituximab injection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uncommon: It is uncommon to lose hair with Rituximab therapy. It can affect the immune system so theoretically, it can indirectly cause hair loss. However, I have never seen hair loss from Rituximab infusions. So my final answer would be unlikely.
