  • Publication number: 20140257841
    Abstract: Described embodiments include a final dosage form for administering a medicament to an animal, an article of manufacture, and method. A described final dosage form includes a dosage portion having a medicament and a release element in a first medicament-release state. The medicament has a first bioavailability to the animal. The release element is modifiable ex vivo to a second medicament-release state by an exposure to a stimulus, wherein the medicament has a second bioavailability to the animal. The final dosage form includes another dosage portion having another medicament and another release element in another first medicament-release state. In the another first medicament-release state, the another medicament has another first bioavailability to the animal. The another release element is modifiable ex vivo to another second medicament-release state by an exposure to another stimulus, wherein the another medicament has another second bioavailability to the animal.
