In reply to How do SR tablets differ from non SR tablets?, posted by JohnX on March 2, 2001, at 4:38:58
SRs get mixed with other materials that make the med a little insoluble & delay the med going into solution in the digestive fluids.
think of a hard candy ( jaw breaker ) verses granulated sugar. both are pretty much just sugar. the granulated sugar dissolves quickly. the jawe breaker takes a while.
same principle is applied to meds.
