Get medical help right away if you have a life-threatening allergic reaction. Symptoms include hives, trouble breathing, shortness of breath, chest pain, swelling of the face, tongue or throat, skin rash, and severe skin reactions. Promptly report any adverse effects to a healthcare professional for medical advice.
Interactions with other drugs
Sotalol may interact with certain medications, including calcium channel blockers, epinephrine, erythromycin, amiodarone, clonidine, and digoxin.
