How To Withdraw From Sotalol Before A Cardiac Ablation Procedure?
After having a cardiac ablation procedure I am now to wean off Sotolol . I have only 6 days to do this before wearing a 24hour holter monitor My GP says halve my dosage from 80mg to 40mg twice a day . Do I have time to do this in 6 days . My cardio specialist says it s not essential to be totally off before holter What do you think?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
No need to completely stop Sotalol before cardiac abalation. You can continue Sotalol without concerns. You can follow your Cardiologist’s advice and as he said it is not essential.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
