Betapace AF

Pronunciation: SOE-ta-lol
Generic Name: Sotalol
Brand Name: Betapace AF

Because Betapace AF may sometimes cause an abnormal or irregular heartbeat, patients who begin taking or restart Betapace AF should be observed in a hospital or similar setting in which heart and kidney function monitoring may be performed for at least 3 days after starting Betapace AF. Close monitoring of your heart or kidney function may also be needed if your dose is changed. Do not change from one brand or generic version of Betapace AF to another without consulting your doctor or pharmacist. Betapace AF is labeled specifically for atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.

Betapace AF is used for:

Maintaining a normal heartbeat rhythm in patients who have atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (a type of abnormal heartbeat rhythm).

Betapace AF is an antiarrhythmic medicine. It works by helping the heart beat regularly for a longer period of time.

Do NOT use Betapace AF if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Betapace AF


• you have certain types of irregular heartbeat (eg, long QT syndrome, prolonged QT interval), shock caused by serious heart problems, uncontrolled heart failure, low blood potassium or magnesium levels, certain lung or breathing problems (eg, asthma, bronchitis, emphysema), severe kidney problems, or you are on dialysis


• you have a very slow heartbeat or certain types of irregular heartbeat (sick sinus syndrome, second- or third-degree heart block) and you do not have a permanent pacemaker


• you are taking certain antiarrhythmics (eg, amiodarone, disopyramide, dofetilide, procainamide, quinidine), bepridil, cisapride, mibefradil, nilotinib, tetrabenazine, a theophylline (eg, aminophylline), a tricyclic antidepressant (eg, amitriptyline), or vardenafil

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Betapace AF:

Some medical conditions may interact with Betapace AF. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

• if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding


• if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement


• if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances


• if you have breathing or lung problems (eg, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder [COPD], asthma); an overactive thyroid; kidney problems; diabetes; blood flow problems; a tumor on your adrenal gland; loss of appetite; increased thirst; or severe or persistent diarrhea, sweating, or vomiting


• if you have a history of other heart problems (eg, heart failure, slow or irregular heartbeat, a recent heart attack), blood electrolyte problems (eg, low blood potassium or magnesium levels), problems with the acid or base levels in your body, or episodes of low blood sugar


• if you are scheduled for surgery

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Betapace AF. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

• Indomethacin because it may decrease Betapace AF's effectiveness


• Calcium channel blockers (eg, diltiazem, verapamil), clonidine, digoxin, diuretics (eg, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide), guanethidine, mibefradil, or reserpine because the risk of side effects, such as low blood pressure or heart problems, may be increased


• Antiarrhythmics (eg, dronedarone, propafenone), arsenic, astemizole, bepridil , chloroquine, cisapride, dolasetron, domperidone, droperidol, fingolimod, fluconazole, halofantrine, haloperidol, iloperidone, ketanserin, macrolides and ketolides (eg, erythromycin), maprotiline, mefloquine, methadone, nilotinib, oseltamivir, paliperidone, pentamidine, phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine, thioridazine), pimozide, quinolones (eg, ciprofloxacin), romidepsin, saquinavir, terfenadine, tetrabenazine, tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline), tyrosine kinase inhibitors (eg, dasatinib), vardenafil, or ziprasidone because the risk of abnormal heart rhythms may be increased


• Epinephrine, insulin, lidocaine, meglitinide antidiabetics (eg, nateglinide), or quinazolines (eg, prazosin) because the risk of their side effects may be increased by Betapace AF


• Beta-agonists (eg, albuterol) or theophyllines (eg, aminophylline) because their effectiveness may be decreased by Betapace AF

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Betapace AF may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Betapace AF:

Use Betapace AF as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

• An extra patient leaflet is available with Betapace AF. Talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about this information.


• Take Betapace AF by mouth with or without food. Try to take it the same way (either with food or without food) each time you take your dose. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about taking Betapace AF with food.


• Do not take an antacid that has aluminum or magnesium in it within 2 hours before or after you take Betapace AF.


• Betapace AF works best if it is taken at the same time each day. Taking Betapace AF at the same time each day will also help you remember to take it.


• Continue to use Betapace AF even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses.


• If you miss a dose of Betapace AF, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Betapace AF.

Important safety information:

• Betapace AF may cause dizziness or lightheadedness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Betapace AF with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.


• Betapace AF may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting; alcohol, hot weather, exercise, or fever may increase these effects. To prevent them, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Sit or lie down at the first sign of any of these effects.


• Do NOT take more than the recommended dose or change your dose without checking with your doctor.


• Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Betapace AF before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.


• Do not suddenly stop taking Betapace AF. Sharp chest pain, irregular heartbeat, and, sometimes, heart attack may occur if you suddenly stop Betapace AF. The risk may be greater if you have certain types of heart disease. Heart disease is common and you may not know you have it. Your doctor should slowly lower your dose over several weeks if you need to stop taking it. Limit physical activity while you are lowering your dose. If new or worsened chest pain or other heart problems occur, contact your doctor right away. You may need to start taking Betapace AF again.


• Diabetes patients - Betapace AF may affect your blood sugar. Check blood sugar levels closely. Ask your doctor before you change the dose of your diabetes medicine.


• Diabetes patients - Betapace AF may hide signs of low blood sugar, such as rapid heartbeat. Be sure to watch for other signs of low blood sugar. Low blood sugar may make you anxious, sweaty, weak, dizzy, drowsy, or faint. It may also make your vision change; give you a headache, chills, or tremors; or make you more hungry. Check blood sugar levels closely. Ask your doctor before you change the dose of your diabetes medicine.


• If you have a history of any severe allergic reaction, talk with your doctor. You may be at risk of an even more severe allergic reaction if you come into contact with the substance that caused your allergy. Some medicines used to treat severe allergies may also not work as well while you are taking Betapace AF.


• Betapace AF may interfere with certain lab tests. Be sure your doctor and lab personnel know you are taking Betapace AF.


• Lab tests, including kidney and heart function, and blood pressure monitoring, may be performed while you take Betapace AF. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.


• PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of taking Betapace AF while you are pregnant. Betapace AF is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking Betapace AF.
