The Food and Drug Administration action comes more than eight years after the agency initially approved Rituxan to treat non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The two companies said Rituxan should be used by patients who haven't had success with a class of rheumatoid arthritis drugs called tumor necrosis factor, or TNF, blockers. Those drugs include Enbrel, Remicade and Humira.
