HERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
APX-SOTALOL is indicated for use in the prevention and treatment of
supraventricular and

4.2
D
OSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
APX-SOTALOL is administered orally for the prevention and treatment of
arrhythmias.
An intravenous formulation is useful for the management of acute
arrhythmias.
As with other antiarrhythmic agents, APX-SOTALOL should be initiated
and doses increased in
a facility capable
of
monitoring
and
assessing
cardiac
rhythm.
The
dosage
must
be
individualized
for
each
patient
on
the
basis
of
therapeutic
response
and
tolerance.
2
Proarrhythmic events can occur not only at initiation of therapy, but
also with each upward
dosage adjustment.
ORAL
APX-SOTALOL should be taken preferably 1-2 hours before meals.
Oral dosage of APX-SOTALOL should be adjusted gradually allowing 2-3
days between dosing
increments in order to attain steady-state, and to allow monitoring of
QT intervals.
Graded
dose adjustment will help prevent the use of doses which are higher
than necessary to control
the arrhythmia.
The recommended initial oral dosing schedule is 160mg/daily, given in
two
divided doses at approximately 12 hour intervals. This dose may be
increased
