47. The system of claim 39, wherein the circuitry for selecting two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

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

48. The system of claim 39, wherein the circuitry for selecting two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

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

49. The system of claim 39, wherein the circuitry for selecting two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

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

50. The system of claim 39, wherein the circuitry for selecting two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

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

52. The system of claim 39, wherein the circuitry for selecting two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

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

55. The system of claim 39, wherein the circuitry for selecting two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

circuitry for 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.

56. The system of claim 39, wherein the circuitry for selecting two or more pharmaceutical agents in response to at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the individual comprises:

circuitry for 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.
