Generic Name: sotalol AF (SO tuh lol AF)
Brand Names: Betapace AF, Sotalol Hydrochloride AF
Sotalol AF is in a group of drugs called beta-blockers. Beta-blockers affect the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins).
Sotalol AF is used to help keep the heart beating normally in people with certain heart rhythm disorders of the atrium (the upper chambers of the heart that allow blood to flow into the heart). Sotalol AF is used in people with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
Another form of this medicine, called sotalol, is used to treat heart rhythm disorders of the ventricles (the lower chambers of the heart that allow blood to flow out of the heart). Sotalol is used in people with ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. Sotalol (Betapace and Sorine) is not used for the same conditions that sotalol AF (Betapace AF) is used for.
Sotalol AF may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Before taking sotalol AF, tell your doctor if you have breathing problems, a history of heart disease or congestive heart failure, diabetes, kidney disease, a thyroid disorder, an electrolyte imbalance, or if you have recently had a heart attack.
Tell your doctor about all your prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
If there are any changes in the brand or strength of sotalol you use, your dosage needs may change. Betapace and Sorine are not used for the same conditions that Betapace AF is used for. Always check your medicine when it is refilled to make sure you have received the correct brand and type as prescribed by your doctor. Ask the pharmacist if you have any questions about the medicine given to you at the pharmacy.
If you need to have any type of surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using sotalol AF. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.

certain heart conditions, especially "AV block" or "sick sinus syndrome" (unless you have a pacemaker);
a history of "Long QT syndrome";

If you have any of these other conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take sotalol AF:
breathing problems such as bronchitis or emphysema;
a history of heart disease or congestive heart failure;
diabetes;
kidney disease;
a thyroid disorder;
an electrolyte imbalance such as low levels of potassium or magnesium in your blood; or
if you have recently had a heart attack.
Sotalol AF comes with patient instructions for safe and effective use. Follow these directions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
Take sotalol AF exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take the medication in larger amounts or for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
If there are any changes in the brand or strength of sotalol you use, your dosage needs may change. Betapace and Sorine are not used for the same conditions that Betapace AF is used for. Always check your medicine when it is refilled to make sure you have received the correct brand and type as prescribed by your doctor. Ask the pharmacist if you have any questions about the medicine given to you at the pharmacy.

Do not take an antacid within 2 hours before or after taking sotalol AF. Avoid using antacids without your doctor's advice. Use only the specific type of antacid your doctor recommends. Antacids contain different medicines and some types can make it harder for your body to absorb sotalol AF.
