What effect does dairy have on sotalol?

Since I too am on sotalol 80 mg and have been for over 6 months (when I was diagnosed with AFIB) I thought this was an interesting question since I have had a few AFIB incidents since being on the meds. So I went to my favorite website : ASK.COM and put in sotalol vs dairy and this site came up: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1163475/ I copied this: Sotalol is not absorbed well with dairy products, and it must be taken on an empty stomach for maximal absorption. Interesting since the doctors never tell or I should say have not told me how to take the med, just to take it twice a day. So even though I do not consume a lot of dairy I will keep this in mind while taking my meds. So, thank you for making me aware of this. Sure wish I did not have to take any meds but I am not a candidate for ablation. Good luck.
