Terápiás javallatok:

Sotalol is indicated for the treatment of life-threatening, documented ventricular arrhythmias, such as sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) . Limitation of Use: Sotalol may not enhance survival in patients with ventricular arrhythmias. Because of the proarrhythmic effects of sotalol, including a 1.5 to 2% rate of Torsade de Pointes (TdP) or new ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VT/VF) in patients with either non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) or supraventricular arrhythmias (SVT), its use in patients with less severe arrhythmias, even if the patients are symptomatic, is generally not recommended. Avoid treatment of patients with asymptomatic ventricular premature contractions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2).] Sotalol is indicated for the maintenance of normal sinus rhythm (delay in time to recurrence of AFIB/AFL) in patients with symptomatic AFIB/AFL who are currently in sinus rhythm. Limitation of Use: Because sotalol can cause life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, reserve its use f
