The answer is: sustained (or extended) release preparation.

A sustained-release medication is a drug whose release of the active ingredient is controlled over time, that is to say, that it diffuses more slowly and longer in the body.
These medications can be any type of preparation, it could be tablets, capsules, ophthalmic or dermal insert, suppository...
