Frequently asked questions

Sotalol is generally safe when taken as directed by your doctor. While it may cause temporary side effects, these often resolve on their own, and your doctor can provide guidance on managing them.
Sotalol should be taken as prescribed by your doctor, typically once or twice daily, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not cut or crush it.
If you miss a dose of Sotalol, take it as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not double up on doses, and consult your doctor before stopping the medication, as sudden discontinuation can lead to dangerous heart rhythm irregularities.
Sotalol blocks specific electrical signals in the heart that lead to irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), helping to restore and maintain a normal heart rhythm.
Possible vision issues with Sotalol include blurred vision, seeing halos around bright lights, dry eyes, or light sensitivity. In rare cases, it may lead to permanent blindness. Consult your doctor if you experience any vision problems.
