What Does SR In Morphine Medication Mean?

Question: What does the SR in my 60 milligram morphine medication mean?
Brief Answer:
Sustained-release
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
SR simply means sustained-release. The tabled is constructed in the way it can slowly and constantly release the drug during the passage through intestines. Classic tablet gets digested and whole dosage is absorbed to the blood stream in short time.
SR tablets allows to deliver the drug to the bloodstream longer. As a result you get stable and longer relief from the pain.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
