Sotalol Hydrochloride is a non-selective beta-adrenergic blocker with Class II and Class III antiarrhythmic properties, widely used in the management of ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias. Its dual action makes it effective in controlling heart rate and maintaining sinus rhythm, especially in patients with atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and other rhythm disorders.
At Bluepill Express, we manufacture and supply high-purity Sotalol Hydrochloride API that meets USP, BP, and EP pharmacopoeial standards. Our API is produced under WHO-GMP, ISO 9001:2015, and cGMP-certified facilities, ensuring global quality compliance, consistent batch performance, and regulatory readiness for regulated and semi-regulated markets.
Therapeutic Uses
- Management of ventricular arrhythmias
- Treatment of atrial fibrillation and flutter
- Control of supraventricular tachycardia
- Prevention of recurrent arrhythmias post-cardiac surgery
- Used as an adjunct therapy in hypertensive patients with arrhythmias
Mechanism of Action
Sotalol Hydrochloride acts via dual pharmacological pathways:
- Beta-Adrenergic Blockade (Class II effect):
- Non-selectively blocks β1 and β2 receptors
- Decreases heart rate, cardiac output, and myocardial oxygen demand
- Potassium Channel Blockade (Class III effect):
- Prolongs cardiac action potential duration
- Increases refractory period, preventing abnormal electrical impulses
This combined action ensures effective rhythm stabilization and arrhythmia control.
