∙ 16y ago
Extended release and controlled release, often designated in a medication name as XR, ER, or CR, are essentially the same thing. The goal is to take a quantity of medication and release it slowly over hours rather than immediately. This is done in a variety of ways in the manufacturing process, either by incorporating slow dissolving layers between quantities of medications to slow the absorption process, or through other means.
