WinRho vs Rituxim was created by kmcadams
If Rituxim was a complete failure does that mean WinRho will be also?

No, they work in completely different ways. I've never heard of any two drugs being connected in this way.

Like Ann said, they are a different mechanism and formulation. WinRho worked for me the first time then didn't work any more. Rituxan has worked great for me twice.

I'm like Erica - Win-Rho did not wrk for me (never got a rise at all), but Rituxan did.
