Sotalol 40mg
Sotalol works as both a beta-blocker and an antiarrhythmic medication. It blocks beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart, slowing the heart rate and reducing the force of contractions. Additionally, it prolongs the electrical conduction time in the heart, helping to maintain a stable and regular rhythm.
