Is it safe to take betapace opened up instead of taking the capsule? ## If your doctor or pharmacist have not said it was alright to do so, then I would avoid it, as some medications do not work as intended when they are released into the body all at once. ## I have been taking Betapace the brand name for 20 years because generic Sotalol does not work for me. This year my copay for 100 is $1200 and I don't know what to do? ## Betapace is not a capsule. It is an oblong pill.

I need to know what these pills are. they are round, Blue with an R on one side and 160 on the other side. I have found pictures of similar pills on the net but they have 130 rather than 160. Is it possible that it is something purchased over the internet? (internet xanax?) ## This pill is Xanax, 1mg tablet ## Round Blue pill with R on one side and 160 on the other side is a heart pill called Betapace ## Hello, I double checked and as far as I can tell, xanax 1mg nor Betapace match the description of the blue pill in question. My only guess is that the pill might have been manufactured by Actavis pharmaceuticals. I will post an image of an Actavis pill so you can see if the R logo matches the R on the pill you have. To view an image of the pill I found click here. Please post back if yo...

I have been taking Multaq for 10 months. I was hospitalized at that time for bronchitis. When asked what medications I was presently taking I stated all of them. I also mentioned that I have MVP and was taking 200 mg of Acebutolol 2 X daily. I also mentioned that 18 year's ago I went into A-Fib for 3 days. While hospitalized, they put me on Multaq. I since don't feel any PVC's but not sure if the Multaq eliminated them. Previously, I was taking Betapace as a preventative for A-Fib. Since taking the Multaq, I have been suffering with my stomach, extreme tiredness and get winded easily. Is taking the Multaq and Acebutolol over doing it ? I was told that the Acebutolol controls the lower part of the heart (PVC's) and the Multaq the upper part of the heart (A-Fib). I feel I ...
