Reply to "time-release medications"

The transit time is around 4 hours to evacuation with a J pouch  and timed release is designed for way longer than that as mentioned by Elif. Simply put all of the medication will not release in 4 hours. This is or should be common sense based on having a much shorter digestive tract. You will never get the intended benefit for any timed release meds unless they are specially designed for J pouches. And I haven't heard of any such thing. All my doctors told me do not take them as you are not getting the full benefit of the medication, or perhaps any at all, if it is a delayed time release of more than 4 hours.
