Medication linked to Peripheral Neuropathy

I think it's always good to be aware of possible side effects and discuss them with your doctor. I've had similar concerns with statins but worked with my doctor to avoid needing them. There are quite a few related discussions on neuropathy caused by medications if you want to scan through them while you wait for members with experience with the medications you mentioned to respond - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=neuropathy+caused+by+medications.
Google Scholar might be a useful tool for finding medical research on each specific drug. Here are a couple of searches:
-- neuropathy caused by Sotalol: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C24&as_ylo=2025&q=neuropathy+caused+by+Sotalol&btnG=
-- neuropathy caused by Finasteride: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C24&as_ylo=2025&q=neuropathy+caused+by+Finasteride+&btnG=

I took rhythmol for 15 yrs prior to being diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. Had to change to multaq because rythmol became non- conducive to me. These medications are for my afib. There was no indication that these medications have anything to do with my neuropathy. With this being said, I am on a program with stem-cell injections along with red-light therapy plus electrical applications. (30 min. Sessions). I have been given also high powered drinks to reduce inflammation. Would be curious if anyone has tried such a program. Everything is geared on a 90 day period.
