The product comprises first, second, and third pharmaceutical dosage forms, each of which comprises at least one pharmaceutically active agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The product is formulated such that at least two of the first, second, and third pharmaceutical dosage forms further comprise means for providing temporary gastric-retention of the at least two of the first, second, and third pharmaceutical dosage forms within the patient's stomach, or at the subsequent gastrointestinal site proximal thereto.
