Sotalol Sandoz works by blocking certain electrical signals in the heart, stabilizing irregular heartbeats. It is classified as an antiarrhythmic medication, prolonging the repolarization phase of the heart’s electrical cycle to prevent abnormal rhythms.
Clinical trials have demonstrated sotalol’s efficacy comparable to other antiarrhythmic drugs with a favorable safety profile. Research in the European Heart Journal highlighted sotalol’s effectiveness in maintaining sinus rhythm in atrial fibrillation patients with a low incidence of proarrhythmic events.
