NBC News (1/24, Lovelace ) reports the FDA “issued a new warning late Tuesday about supplements that contain the ingredient tianeptine, commonly known as ‘gas station heroin.’” The supplements – “sold under the name Neptune’s Fix and often found at gas stations, convenience stores and online – are linked to serious side effects including seizures, loss of consciousness and death.” The agency, “which first warned about the tianeptine-containing products in November, said it is still receiving reports of people being poisoned by the supplements.”
