Is Exalgo 16mg,a Slow Release Or An Extended Release?

Hello Dr. Grief, I am attempting to find out if Exalgo 16mg is a slow release or extended realise. Can you help?

Sorry I was unaware of a charge and since I just got out of hospital from being assaulted and rob, I can't afford just this minute even $15.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Extended and slow release are used interchangeably when talking of drugs. They mean exactly the same thing unless specified. Exalgo 16mg is an extended release tablet of hydromorphone used for pain management. Bother not about paying at this time. We understand times can be hard on you and that's why we have free services to hep those who are in distress and yet deserve medical attention.

I hope you find this useful. I wish you well. Feel free to request for more information and ask ore questions should need be.
Thanks.
