XR stands for extended-release, and refers to a type of tablet that releases its active ingredient over a prolonged period of time.
XR tablets are designed to provide a slow and steady release of medication into the body, allowing for fewer doses to be taken over the course of a day.
XR tablets are usually taken orally with water, as directed by a healthcare provider.
The dose of an XR tablet is determined by a healthcare provider based on individual patient characteristics and the specific medication.
It is important to carefully follow dosing instructions and not to crush, break, or chew XR tablets as this can affect the extended-release mechanism and lead to rapid release of the active ingredient.
