Betapace AF (sotalol) tablets are used to treat certain types of irregular heartbeats. Specifically, it’s indicated for maintaining a normal heart rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter who have already converted to a normal rhythm.
It’s also prescribed to reduce the risk of sudden death in patients with a history of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. Remember, Betapace AF is a prescription medication; always follow your doctor’s instructions.
Specific Conditions Treated
This medication targets specific arrhythmias. It’s not a cure-all for every heart rhythm problem. Consult your physician to ensure Betapace AF is the right treatment for your condition.
| Atrial Fibrillation (AF) | Irregular and rapid heartbeat originating in the atria (upper chambers of the heart). Betapace AF helps control the rhythm. |
| Atrial Flutter | Rapid heartbeat originating in the atria. Similar to AF, Betapace AF aids in rhythm control. |
| Life-Threatening Ventricular Arrhythmias | Dangerous irregular heartbeats originating in the ventricles (lower chambers of the heart). Betapace AF helps reduce the risk of sudden death in patients with a history of these. |
Dosage and Administration
Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and medical history. Dosage adjustments are common, so close monitoring and communication with your doctor are crucial. Never alter the prescribed dose without consulting your physician.
Always take Betapace AF exactly as directed. Incorrect usage can lead to adverse effects. This information is not a substitute for professional medical advice. See your doctor for any questions or concerns regarding your treatment.
