Brief Answer:
Sustained release

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the Ask a doctor service.

Gluformin XL 500 is an extended release formula of the same medicine as contained in plain gluformin 500. The XL preparation maintains the drug concentration smoothly for prolonged duration while the plain version releases the drug rapidly into the blood stream and therefore the drug level in blood drops after a while.
