Change of medicine

As advised by my Diabetic Dr., I'm taking Glycomet SR500 once regularly. Now the Govt. Dr./Dispensary has advised/issued me  Metformin Hydrochloride 500mg (Generic name) tablets which has no mention of the term SR. Is it advisable to take such medicines with the difference in its name? Kindly advice.
