Re: Sinemet Progression/Dosing
The label CR indicates a controlled release medication. One method to achieve the controlled release is to coat the tablet with a special coating of a substance that dissolves slowly, but the tablet is broken, the slow release effect is destroyed and that broken tablet works just like any other NON CR medication.
