Medicine Description betacor-saudi-arabia 80 mg
betacor 80 mg 30 tablets saudi arabia is a medication that contains Sotalol, which functions by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart. This non-selective beta-blocker inhibits the effects of catecholamines, such as adrenaline, thereby reducing heart rate and myocardial contractility. Sotalol also exhibits antiarrhythmic properties by delaying the repolarization of cardiac tissue, which helps stabilize the electrical conduction pathways in the heart. As a result, it is particularly effective in preventing and managing various types of arrhythmias, ensuring that the heart maintains a more regular rhythm.
