Which statement describes rituximab infusion dosing?

Explanation:
Rituximab infusion is given with a carefully escalated rate to reach the full prescribed dose safely. The total dose is determined by the regimen (often based on body size), but the infusion starts at a low rate and is increased in steps as the patient tolerates it. This titration helps detect and manage infusion reactions, especially during the first administration. It is delivered intravenously, not orally, and starting at full strength from the outset would increase the risk of reactions.
