General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Carvediol and sotalol can interact and normally their combined use is not recommended unless the benefits outweigh the risk.
You can consider speaking to your doctor regarding the combination.

Carvediol and sotalol can also interact with losartan to cause an increased effect and these combinations are also normally monitored

Losartan, carvediol, sotalol, aspirin can also increase potassium levels and you are currently using a drug for potassium level so this means that it needs to be very closely monitored so it does not go above normal.

I hope this helps
