Extended-Release Tablets

Extended-release tablets are medications designed to release their active ingredients slowly over time, providing a steady effect rather than a quick burst. This allows for less frequent dosing, often reducing the number of daily doses needed. The tablet's formulation controls the release rate, ensuring consistent blood levels of the medication. This approach can improve convenience and may enhance effectiveness while lowering the risk of side effects associated with rapid absorption. Extended-release tablets are used for various conditions, including chronic pain, hypertension, and mental health disorders, offering a more consistent and manageable treatment experience.
