Serving The Underserved…Safely

Our Name & Mission


Primus means "first" in Latin. Primus Pharmaceuticals is the first and only company specializing in prescription medical nutrition.


What Patients Want

Above all, patients want to improve their quality of life. They want products that are clinically proven to be safe and effective and to avoid side effects and adverse interactions commonly associated with other medications. Patients instead want products with pure and natural ingredients that are manufactured to high standards of quality and consistency that help minimize the overall cost of care.

Primus Care Direct is a hassle-free, savings program with a family of convenient participating, mail-order pharmacies where patients can get their EpiCeram®, Fosteum Plus®, Rheumate®, and Vasculera® prescriptions for the lowest possible price, Medicare patients included. In addition to the lowest prices available, patients will get their prescriptions delivered to their home for free.

Primus Care Direct also saves time for healthcare practitioners by helping to increase fill rates and eliminating call-backs for prior authorizations.

While EpiCeram, Fosteum Plus, Rheumate, and Vasculera are all available at most retail pharmacies, filling the prescription through a participating pharmacy under the Primus Care Direct savings program guarantees patients will pay the lowest possible price on their prescription. 

This program has been designed to be patients centric to allow HCPs to decide what products patients should be on providing broad access at an affordable price regardless on an individual’s insurance status.
