Epilepsy Foundation of New Jersey Introduces Nuro Pharma

 

Nuro Pharma Home Pharmacy is a unique service that is dedicated to Neurologists and their Epilepsy Patients. We can provide any branded or generic pharmaceutical product through our exclusive home pharmacy.

 

Nuro Pharma specializes in providing generic seizure medication from one single source manufacturers; this guarantees the patient consistency each and every time.

 

Other retail and mail order pharmacies will often stock the lowest cost generic product in order to maximize their revenue. This approach increases the risk of more side effects or insufficient efficacy and results in a higher risk of breakthrough seizures.

 

Nuro Pharma will be at The Family Resource Network's "Walk for a Brighter Tomorrow" looking forward to meeting you and answering any questions you might have.
