Is metformin er the same as metformin hcl?

Metformin ER (extended-release) and metformin HCl (hydrochloride) are not exactly the same. Metformin HCl is the active ingredient in both formulations, but Metformin ER is designed to release the medication slowly over time to help maintain consistent blood levels. This allows for once-daily dosing compared to immediate-release metformin, which is typically taken multiple times a day.
