What is the basic difference between sustained release metformin and prolonged release metformin. Can I take 1000 mg prolonged metformin instead 1000 mg sustained release both times?

Hello, thanks for the query. There is no difference in terms of drug action with either of these tablets. It is just the different name given by each company. Thanks.
