Sotalol Tablet is a beta blocker frequently prescribed to manage heart arrhythmias, ventricular tachycardia, and other heart conditions. It works by slowing the heart rate and maintaining rhythm, helping to reduce symptoms like weakness and shortness of breath. It comes in 80 mg strength tablets. Tablets are sold individually.How it Works

Sotalol is typically used in the treatment of dysrhythmia, improper beating of the heart. Rapid heart rate can cause arrhythmia, which causes the heart to pump inefficiently. If the heart isn't properly pumping blood, oxygenated blood cannot reach certain areas of the body.

Special Precautions

Administer sotalol exactly as prescribed, and never withdraw use before speaking with your veterinarian. Overdosing can cause:

• Congestive heart failure
• Low blood sugar
• Low blood pressure
• Very slow heart rate

Many drugs may interact with sotalol. Speak with your veterinarian about all other medications your pet is taking, including supplements and non-prescription products.
