You can be assured you are on the right medication.
Both Betapace AF and Betapace contain sotalol.
The difference between them is the information on the patient leaflets. They contain different dosage information depending on use. Technically you should be prescribed Betapace AF (and get the more appropriate package insert)... but really it makes no difference.
