Betapace AF (sotalol) for Atrial Fibrillation: I have been on this drug since the summer of 2004.For the first 4 months I had a few times of a.f not bad enough to go to the hospital,feet up and rest. But since then till now have not had an attack,it works for me.The only draw back is the restriction of eating before and after taking the drug and it is to be taken 12 hours apart.Also I have been on the same dose 80mg per pill since 2004 and never had to change.Hard on evening snacks.

Betapace (sotalol) for Ventricular Arrhythmia: I have been a heart pt all my life. However, I have only began using Betapace in the last 2 weeks since the manufacturer that produced the only Sotalol that worked for discontinued the production. I guess I am still getting used to the Rx, but I am feeling alot more "control" on my heart arrythmia/fibrillation than other Rxs, minus the Sotalol. I am getting more confident about doing things I was used to doing but had to stop due to my problems. I am finally able to get back to exercising.
