"Health Officials Issue Warning on Tianeptine Products Linked to Severe Illness"
The FDA has issued a warning about supplements containing tianeptine, known as "gas station heroin," sold in Massachusetts and nationwide, leading to severe adverse effects and death. Neptune Resources, LLC, has voluntarily recalled its Neptune's Fix products, which contain tianeptine, an unapproved drug with potential side effects including irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure, seizures, and cardiac arrest. The FDA has urged retailers to stop selling these products, and at least nine states have banned or restricted tianeptine. Officials advise seeking immediate medical help for any adverse reactions to tianeptine products.
