What is the difference between Tardyferon-Fol modified-release tablets and Tardyferon-Fol prolonged-release tablets?

I have been prescribed a prolonged-release drug Tardyferon-Fol, and in pharmacies they are available only with modified release. Is there a big difference? And zcy can I take the one that is available?

According to the product characteristics, Tardiferon-Fol in the form of modified-release tablets is exactly the same product as Tardyferon-Fol in the form of prolonged-release tablets. You can safely use the drug available in pharmacies: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/77437/tardyferon-fol-tabletki-o-zmodyfikowanym-uwalnianiu/charakterystyka-produktu/26223 Prolonged-release preparations are also modified-release preparations. However, not every modified-release preparation is a prolonged-release preparation. The drug Tardyferon-Fol is available only in one form - modified-release tablets. As described by the manufacturer in the summary of product characteristics of Tardyferon-Fol in the form of modified-release tablets, "Tardiferon-Fol is a prolonged-release product containing iron." This means that the manufacturer uses these two names interchangeably. Original packaging may be available on the market, as well as from the so-called import. They may differ in their markings on the packaging, which in turn may suggest the availability of different products. I encourage you to familiarize yourself with additional materials that may be useful: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/anemia-jak-leczyc-niedokrwistosc https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/leki-na-anemie
