Introduction:

Sotalol is a beta-blocker drug used to treat various heart conditions such as angina, hypertension and arrhythmia. In this article we will look at general information about the drug, its structure, method of use and possible side effects.

For heart rhythm disturbances and angina pectoris, doctors often prescribe medications from the group of beta-blockers. One such substance is sotalol. It was discovered in 1988 by Pfizer and still remains one of the most effective drugs in this group.

Sotalol is the drug of choice for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. It blocks β-1 and β-2 adrenergic receptors in the heart, which leads to a decrease in heart rate and normalization of heart rhythm in patients with arrhythmias. Sotalol is also used to relieve symptoms of angina, as it reduces blood flow to the heart and relieves pain.

The drug can be taken either orally or by injection. The dosage is selected individually by a cardiologist and depends on many factors, such as the patient’s age, weight, severity of the disease, the presence of other diseases, etc. With the correct dosage and administration of the drug, side effects are unlikely, but still possible. These effects include nausea, indigestion, dizziness and fatigue. Also, sotalol should not be taken by pregnant women, with insufficient circulating blood volume and certain other diseases.

The name of sotalol in different countries can vary from "Sotalol" to "beta-cardona" and "sotacor". It all depends on the manufacturer of the drug and the sales policy in each specific country. But at the same time, the purpose and use of this medicinal substance is no different from the other. In any case, you should definitely consult your doctor before using sotalol.
