About this active substance

Sotalol is an antiarrhythmic medication used for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. It works by blocking potassium channels and beta-adrenergic receptors, stabilizing the heart rhythm.

The medication is taken orally, as directed by a doctor, usually two or three times daily. It is important for patients to follow the prescribed dosage and undergo regular check-ups to monitor cardiac function.

Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as dizziness, fatigue, or bradycardia. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.

Common side effects include dizziness, fatigue, and bradycardia. In rare cases, severe reactions such as torsades de pointes or heart failure may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before starting treatment.
