Undisclosed chemicals in recalled Neptune's Fix supplements could cause serious health side effects, such as those reported among some users of the "gas station heroin"
The FDA has issued repeated warning about serious health risks from Neptune's Fix and other dietary supplements containing tianeptine over the last two years.
Neptune's Fix recall has been issued and the FDA has sent warning letters to gas stations and convenience stores, asking them to remove all tianeptine-based supplements from from shelves.
Researchers say it would be a "disservice" to consumers if the FDA leaves the ineffective nasal decongestant on the market, indicating widespread cold medication recalls are necessary
FDA announced the Makena withdrawal after post-marketing studies failed to show the pregnancy drug provides any benefits in preventing preterm births
Experts have determined the pregnancy drug Makena provides little to no benefit and puts pregnant mothers and their children at risk of adverse health events.
A federal judge ruled that, unlike in Zantac claims, Valsartan NDMA lawsuits do not require proof the drug turns into NDMA in the body, because high levels of the cancer-causing chemical were already present in the pills.
The manufacturer claims it is trying to provide help to an underserved population of black women, yet raised the price of Makena from $15 to $15,000 when it bought the rights to the drug, critics note.
Research published last month highlight the link between various cancers and Zantac, including liver, lung, gastric and pancreatic cancers.
Zantac cancers supported in the federal courts are limited to bladder, esophageal, gastric, liver and pancreatic. Thousands of other lawsuits are being filed in state courts involving breast, kidney, colorectal, prostate, and other cancers.
