Arrhythmia

• At first, use 80 mg per day in 1-2 divided doses. After ECG monitoring and measurement of corrected QT interval, arrhythmias, the dose is gradually increased over two to three days to the typical amount of 160-320 mg daily in two divided doses; higher doses of 480-640 mg daily under specialist supervision for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
• In the case of renal impairment, the dosage should be lowered. If your creatinine clearance is greater than 60 ml/min, take 160 mg twice daily; if your creatinine clearance is between 40 and 60 ml/min, take 160 mg once day. Sotalol is contraindicated in patients with a creatinine clearance of less than 40 mL/min.
