Renal impairment (CrCl <10 mL/min). Concomitant use w/ Ca channel blockers (e.g. verapamil and diltiazem).

Mode of Action

Sotalol is a non-cardioselective beta-blocker. It increases sinus cycle length, slows heart rate, decreases AV nodal conduction and increases AV nodal refractoriness. It also prolongs AV monophasic action potentials. However, it lacks intrinsic sympathomimetic and membrane-stabilising properties.

Precaution

Patients w/ well-compensated heart failure, myasthenia gravis, DM, 1st degree AV block. May mask symptoms of hyperthyroidism and hypoglycaemia. May worsen psoriasis. Patients undergoing major surgery requiring general anaesth. Avoid abrupt withdrawal as it may precipitate thyroid storm and exacerbate angina and MI. Renal impairment. Pregnancy and lactation. Monitoring Parameters Monitor BP, heart rate, serum creatinine; Mg and K levels.

Rebound hypertension.

Interaction

May increase risk of bradycardia w/ digoxin. May increase risk of arrhythmias w/ diuretics. May potentiate rebound HTN w/ clonidine. May prolong refractoriness w/ disopyramide, quinidine, procainamide, amiodarone and bepridil. May prolong QT interval w/ TCAs, phenothiazines, terfenadine and astemizole. Increased risk of torsades de pointes w/ K-depleting diuretics, erythromycin IV, halofantrine, pentamidine, and quinolones. May prolong neuromuscular blockade of tubocurarine.
