    drug delivery system releasing medication slowly over time

    Sustained Release (SR), also known as Extended Release (ER) or Controlled Release (CR), refers to a drug delivery system designed to release a medication slowly over time. This allows for a more consistent therapeutic effect, reduces the frequency of dosing, and can improve patient compliance by maintaining steadier drug levels in the bloodstream.
