MabAll Rituximab 500mg Vial is a powerful medication designed to target specific cells in the body involved in the immune response. Each vial contains 500mg of rituximab, a monoclonal antibody that selectively targets CD20-positive B-cells, which are often implicated in certain types of cancers and autoimmune diseases.
Mode of Action: Rituximab, the active ingredient in MabAll Rituximab 500mg Vial, works by binding to CD20 antigen present on the surface of B-cells. This binding triggers various immune mechanisms, including antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity, leading to the destruction of targeted B-cells. By depleting these abnormal B-cells, rituximab helps modulate the immune response and combat diseases.
Indications: MabAll Rituximab 500mg Vial is indicated for the treatment of:
- Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Dosage and Administration: The recommended dosage of MabAll Rituximab 500mg Vial varies depending on the specific condition being treated, the patient's weight, and other factors. It is typically administered intravenously by a healthcare professional over a specified period. Dosage and administration should be tailored to the individual patient's needs and medical history.
