I took it many years ago and didn’t get on well with it.
I am pretty sure Bob has said before that it is no longer popular as an AF treatment in the UK.
Both Bisoprolol and Sotalol are rate control drugs and because they are Betablockers can sometimes give patients side effects of lethargy.
If you have AF then a significant number of sufferers take rhythm control drugs either with Bisoprolol or as in my case alone.

Thanks Pete hopefully I’m only on them until after my cv in sept think they might help to keep me in nsr a bit longer!!!

Sotalol may be a beta blocker but it has both rate and rhythm control elements. As Pete says is not recommended by Nice here in UK for AF. Some EPs do still use it from time to time but it is not main stream.
