Description
Sotalar tablet is a medicine that acts on the heart and helps regulate abnormal electrical signals responsible for irregular heartbeats. It belongs to a group of medicines that affect heart rhythm and also block certain stress-related effects on the heart. By doing so, it helps the heart beat more regularly and efficiently.
This medicine is commonly prescribed for people who experience dangerous or persistent irregular heart rhythms. It may be used in both short-term and long-term treatment depending on the severity of the condition and the doctor’s advice. Because heart rhythm disorders can be serious, Sotalar tablet is usually started under careful medical supervision.
Sotalar tablet works throughout the body but mainly affects the heart. It slows down the heart rate and stabilizes the electrical activity of the heart. This reduces the risk of sudden irregular heartbeats and helps improve overall heart function.
Since this medicine can affect heart rhythm and other body systems, regular follow-up with a doctor is important. The dose may be adjusted based on your response, kidney function, and other medicines you may be taking.
