2. The method of claim 1, wherein the accepting input of one or more parameters associated with an individual comprises:

accepting the one or more parameters associated with a human individual.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the accepting input of one or more parameters associated with an individual comprises:

accepting the one or more parameters associated with a physician input.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the accepting input of one or more parameters associated with an individual comprises:

accepting the one or more parameters associated with a pharmacist input.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the accepting input of one or more parameters associated with an individual comprises:

accepting the one or more parameters associated with a patient input.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the accepting input of one or more parameters associated with an individual comprises:

accepting the one or more parameters associated with a machine input.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

selecting at least one of the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one condition specifically associated with the individual.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

selecting at least one of the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one dosage specifically associated with the individual.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

selecting the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to dosage of at least one of the two or more pharmaceutical agents.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

selecting at least one of the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one time of administration.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

selecting at least one of the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to two or more times of administration within a time period.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

selecting at least one of the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to one or more sites of administration associated with the individual.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

selecting at least one of the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to cost associated with at least one of the two or more pharmaceutical agents.

18. The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

selecting at least one of the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to compatibility of at least one of the pharmaceutical agents with another of the two or more pharmaceutical agents.

19. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging at least one of the two or more pharmaceutical agents with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients.

20. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging the two or more pharmaceutical agents with one or more wrappers for administration to the individual.

21. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging the two or more pharmaceutical agents within two or more concentric wrappers for administration to the individual.

22. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging the two or more pharmaceutical agents within two or more nested capsules for administration to the individual.

23. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging the two or more pharmaceutical agents within at least one tablet for administration to the individual.

25. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging at least one of the two or more pharmaceutical agents in unit dosage form.

32. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging at least one of the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to specified release at one or more times.

33. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging at least one of the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to release over one or more time intervals.

34. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging at least one of the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to release at one or more sites associated with an individual.

35. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging at least one of the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to a sustained release profile.

36. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

packaging the two or more pharmaceutical agents in storage material.

37. The method of claim 1, wherein the packaging the two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

labeling at least one of the two or more pharmaceutical agents.
