Betapace AF contains the active ingredient sotalol hydrochloride. It is a prescription medication used to help control certain abnormal heart rhythms.
Betapace AF may be used to help maintain a normal heart rhythm in people with highly symptomatic:
It is generally used in people who are already back in a normal heart rhythm and need treatment to help reduce the chance that the abnormal rhythm will return.
Sotalol may also be used to treat certain life-threatening abnormal rhythms that begin in the lower chambers of the heart, such as sustained ventricular tachycardia.
Because sotalol can itself cause serious rhythm problems, treatment requires careful monitoring.
Betapace AF is an antiarrhythmic medication with both beta-blocking and heart-rhythm-stabilizing effects.
It works by slowing certain electrical signals in the heart and helping the heartbeat stay more regular.
Betapace AF can sometimes cause a dangerous abnormal heart rhythm called torsades de pointes.
Because of this risk, starting or restarting treatment is usually done in a medical facility where your heart rhythm can be continuously monitored. Kidney function and electrolyte levels are also checked because they can affect the safety of treatment.
Betapace AF is taken by mouth as directed by your healthcare provider.
The dosing schedule depends on your heart rhythm, kidney function, and response to treatment. Many adults take it once or twice daily.
Take each dose at about the same time every day.
You may take Betapace AF with or without food.
Try to take it the same way each time so the medication is absorbed consistently.
Your healthcare provider will choose your dose based on:
Because sotalol is removed from the body through the kidneys, people with reduced kidney function may need a lower dose or more time between doses.
Betapace AF can cause serious heart rhythm problems.
Because of this, starting or restarting treatment is usually done in a medical facility where your heart rhythm can be monitored.
Your healthcare provider may also check your kidney function and electrolyte levels before and during treatment.
Do not take antacids containing aluminum or magnesium at the same time as Betapace AF.
These products can reduce how much sotalol your body absorbs.
Take these antacids at least 2 hours before or after Betapace AF.
Betapace AF helps control abnormal heart rhythms, but it does not cure the underlying condition.
Continue taking it exactly as prescribed, even if you feel well.
If you miss a dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the usual time.
Do not take two doses at the same time or take extra medication to make up for the missed dose.
Do not stop taking Betapace AF without speaking with your healthcare provider.
Stopping a beta-blocking medication suddenly may worsen chest pain or increase the risk of serious heart problems in some people.
Make sure you refill your prescription before you run out of tablets.
Betapace AF (Sotalol AF) is available in the following forms and strength:
Betapace AF can cause a dangerous abnormal heart rhythm called torsades de pointes.
The risk is higher if you have:
Because of this risk, starting or restarting treatment usually requires close medical monitoring.
Betapace AF should not be used if your QT interval is already significantly prolonged.
Your healthcare provider may check your ECG before starting treatment and again after dose changes.
Do not use Betapace AF if you have significant bradycardia, or a very slow heart rate, unless you have a functioning pacemaker and your healthcare provider says it is safe.
Sotalol is removed from the body through the kidneys.
If you have reduced kidney function, your dose may need to be lowered or spaced farther apart.
Your healthcare provider may check your kidney function before and during treatment.
Low potassium or magnesium can increase the risk of serious arrhythmias.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, or take diuretics, because these can change electrolyte levels.
Betapace AF has beta-blocking effects and can tighten the airways.
It should generally be avoided in people with bronchial asthma or active bronchospasm.
If you have COPD or another chronic lung condition, tell your healthcare provider before starting treatment.
Betapace AF may worsen heart failure in some people, especially when treatment is first started or the dose is increased.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop:
Betapace AF can lower blood pressure.
You may feel dizzy or lightheaded, especially when standing up.
Rise slowly from a sitting or lying position.
Betapace AF may cause dizziness, tiredness, or weakness.
Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medication affects you.
Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and supplements you take.
Important interactions may occur with:
Some combinations can increase the risk of slow heart rate, low blood pressure, or serious arrhythmias.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Sotalol crosses the placenta, so treatment during pregnancy should be used only when the expected benefit outweighs the potential risk.
Sotalol passes into breast milk in significant amounts.
Your healthcare provider will help decide whether breastfeeding or Betapace AF treatment should be continued.
Do not stop Betapace AF suddenly unless a healthcare provider tells you to.
Stopping beta-blocker therapy abruptly may worsen chest pain or increase the risk of serious heart problems.
Your healthcare provider may reduce the dose gradually if treatment needs to be stopped.
Seek medical attention right away if you develop fainting, severe dizziness, chest pain, a very slow heartbeat, a fast or irregular heartbeat, or worsening shortness of breath.
Yes. Betapace AF has beta-blocking effects and can sometimes tighten the airways. It should generally be avoided in people with bronchial asthma or active bronchospasm. If you have COPD or another breathing condition, tell your healthcare provider before starting treatment. Seek medical attention if you develop new or worsening shortness of breath, wheezing, or difficulty breathing.
Yes. Betapace AF can lower your blood pressure, which may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness, or fainting. Stand up slowly from a sitting or lying position to reduce the risk of these symptoms. Contact your healthcare provider if they are severe, happen often, or lead to fainting.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Sotalol crosses the placenta, so it should be used during pregnancy only when your healthcare provider believes the expected benefit is greater than the possible risk. Do not stop Betapace AF on your own if you become pregnant.
Liver problems are not a common or major expected side effect of Betapace AF. Sotalol is mainly removed from the body through the kidneys rather than being extensively processed by the liver. Still, tell your healthcare provider about any serious liver condition or other medical problems before starting treatment.
Yes, but your dose may need to be adjusted. Sotalol is removed from the body mainly through the kidneys. If your kidney function is reduced, the medication can build up in your body and increase the risk of serious heart rhythm problems. Your healthcare provider may lower your dose, increase the time between doses, check your kidney function regularly, and monitor your ECG and heart rhythm. Take Betapace AF exactly as prescribed and do not change your dose on your own.
