Question:
What does the *C-*R,MEAN on a prescription bottle right after the type of medication?
i take morphine,30mg's and on the bottle its reads morphine*C-*R.what does this mean?
Answers:
Generally, CR means "controlled release" or "continued release"; in the case of morphine, it means that the morphine is released over a longer period of time, giving you pain relief over 12 hours rather than 4 or so.
Hope that helps,
