SR is sustained release and ER is

Posted By: Me on 2008-10-29
In Reply to: says Glipizide SR (not ER). Is that right? not sure. tks. - CRS

Subject: SR is sustained release and ER is

ER is extended release. It appears ER is the official way with glipizide, and yet SR would be just as clear to other MDs. So if you are supposed to correct, use ER. If you are supposed to transcribe verbatim, just give it to him, IMO.
