Medical - Medical (general) / Medication Orders
Italian term or phrase: R.M.
These letters appear in a list of medications prescribed for a patient being discharged from a hospital after coronary angiography and stent placement.

"Principio attivo: OMEPRAZOLO ... Nome farmaco: ANTRA 14CPS 20MG *R.M.*

This only appears in one place in the report, so there is nothing to associate it with.

What do these R.M. letters stand for in this context, and how do we say it in English?

Grazie dell'aiuto!

Explanation:
R.M.= rilascio modificato
www.agenziafarmaco.it/.../111.20096.1133834931742d4a5.pdf

M.R.= modified-release

'Modified release' means that the escape of the drug from the tablet has been modified in some way. Usually this is to slow the release of the drug so that the medicine doesn't have to be taken too often and therefore improves compliance. The other benefit from modifying release is that the drug release is controlled and there are smaller peaks and troughs in blood levels therefore reducing the chance of peak effects and increasing the likelihood of therapeutic effectiveness for longer periods of time.

Rilascio Moderato => Modified Release


Explanation:
Time release technology, also known as sustained-release (SR), sustained-action (SA), extended-release (ER, XR, or XL), time-release or timed-release, controlled-release (CR), modified release (MR), or continuous-release (CR or Contin), is a mechanism used in pill tablets or capsules to dissolve slowly and release a drug over time. The advantages of sustained-release tablets or capsules are that they can often be taken less frequently than instant-release formulations of the same drug, and that they keep steadier levels of the drug in the bloodstream.

disagree  Mihaela Petrican: no, "somministration" (?!, maybe administration) is different from release, see the explanations above
17 mins
  -> yes: release!
disagree  philgoddard: Three people have already given the correct answer! And if you're going to use words like "somministration", at least Google them to see if they exist.
