What is another word for Sustained Release Preparation?
Pronunciation: [səstˈe͡ɪnd ɹɪlˈiːs pɹˌɛpəɹˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Sustained release preparations, also known as extended-release forms, are pharmaceutical formulations designed to release the active ingredient at a controlled rate over an extended period of time. These preparations provide a constant, prolonged effect, reducing the frequency of dosing and improving patient compliance. While "sustained release preparation" is the commonly used term, there are also several synonymous expressions to describe these formulations. They may be referred to as time-release medications, controlled-release systems, slow-release formulations, or extended-release drugs. These interchangeable terms indicate the same concept of a pharmaceutical product that delivers its therapeutic effects slowly and continuously, resulting in enhanced efficacy and convenience for both patients and healthcare providers.
