Product Description
General information
Betapace is in a group of drugs called beta-blockers. It work by slowing down the heart rate and increases the amount of time that a certain area of the heart is not responsive to an electrical signal and by blocking potassium channels in the heart. Betapace is used to help keep the heart beating normally in people with certain heart rhythm disorders of the ventricles (the lower chambers of the heart that allow blood to flow out of the heart). It is used in people with ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation.
Directions
Take Betapace exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The recommended dose for treatment of ventricular arrhythmias is 240 to 320 mg total per day and for atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter - 80 to 160 mg total per day. It is usually taken by mouth one to three times a day. Take it at the same times each day. You can take it either with a meal or on an empty stomach. If you use antacids, do not take them at the same time as sotalol.

Before taking Betapace you should talk with your doctor if you have severe or prolonged diarrhea or vomiting, low electrolytes (low potassium levels), long QT syndrome, peripheral artery disease, kidney disease, kidney failure, diabetes, chest pain (angina), heart failure, sick sinus syndrome, slow heart rate (bradycardia), asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, overactive thyroid disease (hyperthyroidism), upcoming surgery, any allergies. This drug may make you dizzy. Do not drive or perform tasks that require alertness. Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug. Do not take an antacid within 2 hours before or after taking Betapace. Antacids contain different medicines and some types can make it harder for your body to absorb sotalol.
