It provides for selected delivery profiles resulting from, but not limited to, a porosity-enabled composite matrix of one or more layers/components of the pharmaceutical composition/s. The invention also provides for a method of manufacturing said transmucosal pharmaceutical dosage form in a plurality of configurations.
