A member asked:
If you decided to put a patient on luvox would you use immediate or extended release....and what are pros and cons of each?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Either form works: The main advantage of extended release tables is that they allow for less frequent dosing. The only issue is that extended release preparations are sometimes significantly more expensive.
