The SOD stands for Sodium, it designates the specific chemical salt that the medication is derived from, that's why some list sodium, some list hydrochloride and etc.

As to the DR on a prescription, just like XR, SR, ER and quite a few others, it designates that medication as being time released.

As to the EC, from what I've found, it's used similar to ES, DS and etc. to designate that as being an extra strength dosage, rather than the standard prescribed amount.

Are there any other questions or comments?
