A member asked:

Dose buspar (buspirone) exist extended release tablets if not do you think they will make it extended release soon?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Buspar (buspirone): Buspar (buspirone) is marketed as an immediate release medication. I know that the company patented an extended release tablet in 1995, but I don't remember if it ever came to market.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed

Buspar (buspirone): not at present. Checking with the company's drug representative revealed the response 'I will let you know'.
