Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia are types of blood cancers. Mabthera SC belongs to a group of medicines known as monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies are proteins which specifically recognise and bind to another unique protein called an antigen. Mabthera SC works by binding to an antigen on the surface of certain white blood cells known as B lymphocytes. It is the abnormally growing B lymphocytes that are responsible for certain types of non- Hodgkin’s lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. During the process of binding to the antigen, the abnormal growth of the B lymphocytes is stopped. Mabthera SC may be used on its own or together with chemotherapy . Your doctor may have prescribed Mabthera SC for another purpose. ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY MABTHERA SC HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED FOR YOU.
