| The United States: Neptune Resources, LLC Issues Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Neptune’s Fix Elixir, Neptune's Fix Extra Strength Elixir, and Neptune's Fix Tablets Products Due to the Presence of Tianeptine |
| |
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announces that Neptune Resources, LLC issues voluntary nationwide recall of Neptune's Fix Elixir, Neptune's Fix Extra Strength Elixir, and Neptune's Fix Tablets products due to the presence of Tianeptine.
Neptune Resources, LLC is voluntarily recalling all lots of Neptune's Fix Elixir, Neptune's Fix Extra Strength Elixir, and Neptune's Fix Tablets to the consumer level. Neptune Resources LLC's distribution channels have not reported any adverse events from the use of its products. The products are being recalled because they contain tianeptine, an ingredient that is not FDA-approved for any medical use. The presence of tianeptine renders the products unapproved drugs for which safety and efficacy have not been established and, therefore, are subject to recall.
Please refer to the following website in FDA for details:
