Giselle - thank you for that! My Rheumatologist keeps pushing Benlysta on me and I keep telling her no. I had a serious hypersensitivity reaction to Rituxan and don't want to risk it. I am also acquiring other drug allergies as time goes on.

Now I really have a good reason to tell her to forget about it.

sounds like it might not be a good option for you. I think the label changes will be similar in other countries (not just canada).
