BETAPACE® (Berlex)
(sotalol HCl)

To minimize the risk of induced arrhythmia, patients initiated or re-initiated on BETAPACE® should be placed for a minimum of three days (on their maintenance dose) in a facility that can provide cardiac resuscitation and continuous electrocardiographic monitoring. Creatinine clearance should be calculated prior to dosing. For detailed instructions regarding dose selection and special cautions for people with renal impairment, see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION . Sotalol is also indicated for the maintenance of normal sinus rhythm [delay in time to recurrence of atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter (AFIB/AFL)] in patients with symptomatic AFIB/AFL who are currently in sinus rhythm and is marketed under the brand name BETAPACE AF™. BETAPACE® is not approved for the AFIB/AFL indication and should not be substituted for BETAPACE AF™ because only BETAPACE AF™ is distributed with a patient package insert that is appropriate for patients with AFIB/AFL.

Rx only
