What is the difference between Metolar 25 and Metolar XR 25?
Asked by Female, 41 · 1 month ago
The difference lies in how the medicine is released and how it works in your body. Metolar 25 releases the drug quickly and works for a shorter period, while Metolar XR 25 is an extended-release form that slowly releases the medicine for longer, steady blood pressure control. Your doctor decides which form is best for you.
