Hi..Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Yes you can take Sotalol with lipitor, If prescribed by a doctor. There is no drug interaction between them. Sotalol is a beta blocker & is indicated in heart problems such as ectopic beats, arrythmias etc.
If you are prescribed 40 mg sotalol in morning & evening. You should take whole tablet of sotalol 40mg in morning & evening. You should not break one tablet of 80 mg into two, as this is more prone to causing less or high dosage at a time

Refer to your cardiologist

Hope this informatrion helps
