Ristova is a prescription medication containing rituximab, a monoclonal antibody. It is used to treat various types of cancers, including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and rheumatoid arthritis.
Rituximab works by targeting and destroying specific types of white blood cells called B cells. In cancer, these B cells can become abnormal and multiply uncontrollably. By targeting and destroying these cells, rituximab can help to slow the progression of the disease.
