Hello, Vernfrog! How are you?

From what you've listed, there is no difference, both the SA and ER designate it as being time released, there are several different abbreviations that are used for it. SA stands for sustained action and ER stands for extended release.

The FDA classifies this medication as an oral antidiabetic agent. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence, diarrhea and hypoglycemia.

Is there anything else I can help with?
