Abstract
Provided embodiments include a final dosage form, an article of manufacture, and method. A final dosage form for administering a medicament to an animal is provided. The final dosage form includes an outer layer, the medicament, and a release element. The release element configured in a medicament-holding state and modifiable ex vivo to a medicament-discharge state by an exposure to a stimulus. In an embodiment, the final dosage form includes a chamber substantially within the outer layer and carrying the medicament. In an embodiment, the final dosage form includes an indicator element configured to indicate an exposure of the release element to the stimulus.

34. A method of modifying a medicament availability characteristic of a final dosage form for administering a medicament to an animal, wherein the final dosage form includes
a release element configured in the medicament-holding state wherein a medicament is substantially not bioavailable to the animal and modifiable ex vivo to a medicament-discharge state by the exposure to a stimulus wherein the medicament is substantially bioavailable to the animal; - and
a site carrying the medicament; and the method comprising; initiating a ex vivo exposure of the release element of the final dosage form to a stimulus, the initiated stimulus selected to transform the release element from a medicament-holding state to a medicament-discharge state. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
