12. The product of claim 10 , wherein the antineoplastic released from the first dosage form reaches a Cmax within from about 0.5 hours to about 2 hours after administration of the product.
13. The product of claim 10 , wherein the antineoplastic released from the second dosage form reaches a Cmax in no more than about 4 hours after administration of the product.
14. The product of claim 10 , wherein the antineoplastic released from the third dosage form reaches a Cmax within 8 hours after administration of the product.
15. The product of claim 10 , wherein said second dosage form initiates release of said antineoplastic before said third dosage form, wherein said third dosage form initiates release of said antineoplastic before said fourth dosage form, wherein said second dosage form provides 20% to 35% by weight of the total antineoplastic released by said second, third, and fourth dosage forms, wherein said third dosage form provides from 20% to 40% by weight of the total antineoplastic released by said second, third, and fourth dosage forms, and wherein said fourth dosage form provides the remainder of the total antineoplastic released by said second, third, and fourth dosage forms.
16. The product of claim 10 , wherein the product is an oral dosage form.
17. The product of claim 10 , wherein the antineoplastic released from the second dosage form reaches a Cmax after Cmax is reached for the antineoplastic released from the first dosage form.
18. The product of claim 10 , wherein the antineoplastic released from the third dosage form reaches a Cmax after Cmax is reached for the antineoplastic released from the second dosage form.
19. The once-a-day antineoplastic product of claim 1 , wherein said at least one antineoplastic agent is in the form of a salt.
20. The once-a-day antineoplastic product of claim 10 , wherein said at least one antineoplastic agent is in the form of a salt.
