Heart rhythm problem: Betapace (sotalol) is used to control abnormal heart rhythms. Do you know what kind of rhythm problem she might have?

Question 5

can i take my sotalol 80mg and slow mag at the same time in the morning?

Accepted Answer

: Magnesium can affect the absorption of certain oral medications including potentially sotalol. It would probably be best to take the sotalol two hours before or six hours after the magnesium. Good luck.

Question 6

are sotalol levels tested by actually testing for sotalol or by creatinine levels?

Accepted Answer

EKG: Sotalol "levels" are inferred indirectly by monitoring the ECG. What we look for is a "QT" interval. If the "QT" interval is too long, then would cut back on dose. If "QT" ok, then same dose.

Question 7

what is effect of betapace (sotalol)?

Accepted Answer

Betapace (sotalol): Is used for heart arrhythmias. It is a beta-blocker that acts to decrease calcium conduction in heart muscle, hence reduces heart rate.

Question 8

can taking sotalol give you allergies?

Accepted Answer

Not exactly: Sotalol belongs to a class of medications called beta-blockers.  True allergic reactions to beta blockers are uncommon.  A person with asthma who takes a beta blocker may have an asthma attack.  Taking a beta blocker medication will NOT increase the risk to develop allergies (food, medication, bee sting, latex, pollen, pet dander, etc.)

Question 9

can i take senokot (senna) with comundin and sotalol?

Accepted Answer

Senokot & Coumadin (warfarin): I would not recommend taking the senokot at the same time with either Coumadin (warfarin) or sotalol.  Absorption of Coumadin (warfarin) is affected by a number of foods and other meds, so although not taken together you may separate them in time, so take the sotalol at breakfast  and dinner, and the Coumadin (warfarin) before dinner, then take the senokot at bed time.

Question 10

can you take 80mg sotalol and  12.5mg metoprolol together?

Accepted Answer

Interaction: Sotalol and Metoprolol do not have interaction.  The doses for both are at the lower end. Combination is not uncommon an prescribed for arryhtmias. Make sure you are followed by the provider your are working with and take the medication as directed.  Too much of either can slow heart too much.
