The FDA and Neptune Resources, LLC are recalling all lots of Neptune's Fix Elixir, Neptune's Fix Extra Strength Elixir, and Neptune's Fix Tablets  as these products contain tianeptine.  This compound, sometimes called “gas station heroin,” can stimulate mu opioid receptors leading to blood pressure elevation, rapid pulse rate, arrythymias, respiratory depression, suicides, and death.


Do not consume or permit your children or teens to consume these products.  Either destroy the product or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.  For additional information, call Neptune Resources at 1-816-256- 2071.
