Sotalol generic name?

What is sotalol, and what is its generic name?

Sotalol is the generic name for the antiarrhythmic medicine used to treat certain heart rhythm problems (marketed under brand names such as Betapace and Sorine in some countries).

Is there more than one “generic sotalol”?

There can be different formulations (for example, immediate-release vs. extended-release) and different strengths, but the active ingredient/generic name remains sotalol.

What should I check on a prescription if I see “sotalol”?

When filling a prescription, check the label for:
- strength (dose)
- formulation (often immediate-release vs. extended-release)
- whether it’s sotalol (the active ingredient/generic name)
