Insta-Char <> Sotalol

Relevance: 05.08.2022 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Ask your doctor before using sotalol together with charcoal. Using these medications together can make sotalol less effective. Do not take charcoal with any other medication. Charcoal binds to other drugs and reduces their effectiveness, which could become dangerous. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Professional:

GENERALLY AVOID: Charcoal reduces the absorption of sotalol by 99% and effectively shortens its elimination half-life. Subtherapeutic levels will result.

MANAGEMENT: While charcoal is an effective antidote for sotalol overdose, its use as a remedy for GI symptoms should be avoided by patients taking sotalol.
