Sotalol AF is specifically used for maintenance of normal sinus rhythm [delay in time to recurrence of atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter (AFIB/AFL)] in patients with symptomatic AFIB/AFL who are currently in sinus rhythm.

Plain Sotalol is not approved for AFIB/AFL indication and should not be substituted for Sotalol AF because only Sotalol AF is distributed with a patient package insert that is appropriate for patients with AFIB/AFL.
