Verapamil SR, etc.
Subject: Verapamil SR, etc.

I keep getting certain meds which are either sustained or extended-release, which of course have generics.  One I keep getting is Verapamil SR, but all I've found is Calan-SR I realize the pharmacist will know how to handle it, but I'm just wondering how y'all type this stuff.  It seems like everything is going "extended/sustained" release nowadays.


Of course, since basically everything is verbatim, that's another thing I would appreciate how others handle these types of things.


Thanks!
