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

NO, he CANNOT use the phenergan.

Phenergan CANNOT be used with sotalol. Both of these drugs alter a particular rhythm of the heart and are not to be used together.

He can try benadryl instead for the reaction, this is available over the counter.

I hope this helps
