Fluvoxamine and Sotalol can be taken together. Monitor your heart rate and blood pressure regularly, especially when starting or adjusting doses. Rise slowly from sitting to avoid dizziness.
Take each at their prescribed times. Some SSRIs (fluoxetine, paroxetine) inhibit CYP2D6, which metabolizes metoprolol and propranolol — this can increase beta-blocker levels and cause more pronounced heart rate and blood pressure lowering. Monitor for dizziness or fatigue.
Higher risk for: elderly, those on multiple serotonergic drugs, people with liver impairment, CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, recent dose changes, or concurrent use of MAOIs or triptans.
Monitor blood pressure and heart rate when combining Fluvoxamine with Sotalol. Watch for: dizziness, lightheadedness (especially when standing up), fatigue, cold extremities, slow heartbeat, or swelling in ankles/feet. Check your blood pressure at home if possible. When to seek emergency help: Fainting, chest pain, heart rate below 50 bpm, severe dizziness, difficulty breathing, or allergic reactions (swelling of face, lips, or tongue).
No urgent need to discuss, but always keep your doctor informed of your full supplement and medication list. Say: "I take Fluvoxamine and Sotalol — is that OK?"
These medications are safe to take together at standard doses. Continue taking as prescribed and keep your pharmacist informed of your complete medication list.
