Sotalol injection is used to control rapid heartbeats and abnormal heart rhythms that are serious or life-threatening. The injection may also be used when patients are not able to take the oral form.

Sotalol is a beta-blocker and antiarrhythmic. It works by affecting the response to nerve impulses in certain parts of the body, like the heart. As a result, the heart beats slower and at a regular rhythm.

Sotalol is available only with your doctor's prescription.
