Prolonged release in oral dose formulations is mostly time-dependent and delayed release. Often prolonged release is targeted and intended to heal certain areas of the body system that can not be cured effectively by other ordinary drugs and ointments. This is different with the sustained release tablets as they are often administered slowly to maintain a particular amount of drug levels into the bloodstream during a drug administration or injection so as to maintain an efficient healing process.

Once they are introduced into the blood system they are released either on the specific part or near the target site that needed the cure. While the sustained release does not target particular body sites or parts. Sustained release tablets are often time-release drugs, they can either be released immediately or in small amounts after administration. They include pills and capsules.
Time and rate of administration of the formulations are predetermined so as to reduce the effect on blood levels or reduce effects on the intestinal tract and even extend the drugs half life. This is not the same with prolonged release formulations as the drugs administered are meant to prolong their effectiveness into the bloodstream. This has the advantage of less administration of drugs, improved healing process as patients comply when taking drugs less number of times and also the benefit of a constant blood level.
