Time release: Xtended release tablets are simply tablets that are time release medication that release a steady dose of the medication over a 24 hour period, rather than the shorter acting versions that have to be taken two to three times daily. Time-release meds generally provide a better, steady drug level in the body over a 24-hour period.
