Sotalol : How to stop taking it.

[Guest guest]

Cautiously optomistic (two weeks now) that second ablation has worked.

I anticipate that I will be told to stop taking warfarin and Sotalol

when I see the Cardiologist next.

Warfarin, I presume that I simply stop taking, but will I need to

wean myself off Sotalol? If so, how slowly?

Bob,

That is great..hopefully you have it made...I just finished weaning

off Sotolol..I was taking 160 mg's twice daily..I went to 80mg's

twice daily for 3 days, then 40mg's twice daily for 3 days, then 40mg

once daily for 3 days..No problem...I'm sure if your cardiologist

takes you off sotolol he will explain how. Best of Luck to you, Marie

Bob:

When I came off sotolol, a few years ago, my cardiologist told me to

just stop taking it. I was instructed to do the same thing when

amiodarone was discontinued. I experienced no problems and was more

than happy to bid farewell to both of them. Of course, your

cardiologist may suggest a different procedure. Good luck.
