LP16279-9 Sotalol
Sotalol (brand names Betapace and Sorine) is used to treat irregular heartbeats. Sotalol is in a class of medications called antiarrhythmics (beta-blockers). It works by acting on the heart muscle to improve the heart's rhythm. Sotalol may cause dizziness, excessive tiredness, headaches, constipation, swelling in the lower extremities, and chest pain. Patients with low potassium or magnesium levels should not use sotalol since these conditions can create higher risk for abnormal heart rhythms with the use of this medication.

LP20176-1 trough
In medicine, a trough level is the lowest level that a medicine is present in the body. In a medicine that is administered periodically, the trough level should be measured just before the administration of the next dose in order to avoid overdosing. It should be contrasted with a "peak level", which is the highest level of the medicine in the body, and the "average level", which is the mean level over time. It helps in therapeutic drug monitoring. It is widely used in clinical trials for newer medicines for its therapeutic effectiveness and safety.
