Rituximab had an acceptable safety profile in our study patients. However, there must be certain cautions regarding the use of the medication for the elderly or patients with a compromised immune system. Timely detection and management of ADRs would also be crucial to prevent severe and permanent damages. Moreover, considering that rituximab is used as an off-label treatment for autoimmune neurological diseases, a risk-benefit assessment would be necessary before deciding on the treatment choice.
