    You should avoid getting any live vaccines while taking Rituxan. Additionally, women should avoid becoming pregnant or breast-feeding while taking Rituxan. Rituxan may create fatigue and dizziness. Until you have received enough doses that you are sure about how you react to the drug, avoid driving and working with heavy machinery.
