I hope you won't mind a gentle correction, Camilla, but if you have read my email to Marcia, you will see that: The CR tablet gives 200 mg over a period of 4 hours, The 25/100 tablet gives 100 mg over a period of 2 hours. By my definition, those two are giving the same dose, but the CR tablet lasts twice as long. Regards, -- Brian Collins <[log in to unmask]>
