Original GlobalRPh source
- Product / population
- Preserved GlobalRPh source, not a freshly verified product label
- Renal measure
- Use the method specified in the original source
Historical source: not automatically current. Review current official labeling and separately attributed additions before use.
High-risk QT-active drug: the historical source is not a complete initiation/reinitiation, QT, electrolyte or monitored-titration protocol. Do not apply its nonspecific HD supplement automatically across indications/products.
Usual adult ventricular-arrhythmia dosing
Start 80 mg orally twice daily; increase gradually to 240-320 mg/day, allowing 3 days between increases. Most patients respond to 160-320 mg/day in 2-3 doses in the source.
Renal Dosing - ventricular arrhythmias
Betapace/Sorine source table, CrCl mL/min: above 60, every 12 hours; 30-60, every 24 hours; 10-30, every 36-48 hours; below 10, individualize.
Renal Dosing - atrial fibrillation/flutter
Betapace AF historical table: CrCl above 60, every 12 hours; 40-60, every 24 hours; below 40, contraindicated.
Dialysis comments
The source proposes giving after HD or an additional 80 mg dose. PD does not remove sotalol, so no PD supplement is described.
