CDC Warns of Health Risks from 'Gas Station Heroin' Tianeptine Products

A spike in severe illnesses, including seizures and cardiac arrest, has been linked to tianeptine-containing products, prompting a recall.

The CDC reported a cluster of illnesses in New Jersey tied to tianeptine, a drug found in products like Neptune's Fix, leading to a recall.
Tianeptine, dubbed 'gas station heroin,' is not FDA-approved and has been linked to overdoses, coma, and death.
Investigations found Neptune's Fix products contained not only tianeptine but also synthetic cannabinoids, posing additional health risks.
Consumers are advised to avoid tianeptine products, which are often marketed for improving brain function and treating various conditions.
The FDA and health authorities are actively investigating and have issued warnings about the severe adverse effects of these products.
