Dosage & Administration

In the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias antiarrhythmics, life-threatening, begin treatment and increase the dose should be in a hospital in the presence of equipment for monitoring and evaluation of heart rate variability.

During treatment, control studies should be conducted at regular intervals (for example, using standard ECG intervals of 1 month or prolonged ECG every 3 months and, if necessary, conduct an electrocardiogram under load).

Therapy should be checked if some parameters deteriorate, for example, increased QRS duration or QT interval is prolonged more than 25% over prolonged PQ interval 50% or increased frequency and severity of arrhythmias.

Severe symptomatic ventricular cardiac arrhythmia
The initial dose – 80 mg sotalol 2 times a day. If the lack of efficacy of therapy, the daily dose can be increased to 80 mg sotalol hydrochloride 3 times daily or 160 mg sotalol hydrochloride 2 times a day.
