REFERENCE

Explanation:
Different Terminology, Same Process
# Time release technology has a number of aliases that refer to the same process: sustained release, controlled release, extended release, timed release, time release or continuous release. These terms can all be used interchangeably and are often signified on packaging with just the first two letters following the medication name, such as Mucinex ER. The aforementioned terms are interchangeable, but watch for similar ones: delayed release is not the same as extended release, for instance.
