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.

Further, the risks of adverse effects associated with use of tianeptine along with antidepressants, known as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOls), are potentially serious and life-threatening.

Neptune's Fix Elixir and Extra Strength Elixir are used as a supplement and are packaged in amber glass bottles with a "shrink sleeve" label that covers the entire cap/bottle and is perforated at the cap to facilitate opening. Neptune's Fix tablets are packaged in 20-count blister packs held in small boxes or 4-count foil packets. All Neptune's Fix products are being recalled. The product can be identified by the name Neptune's Fix and its logo which is an illustration of the Roman God Neptune with a green beard and a trident. The products were distributed Nationwide to wholesale and retail customers.

Neptune Resources is proactively notifying its distributors and customers by form of a mailed out recall letter and is arranging for the return of all recalled products.
Consumers/distributors/retailers that have product which is being recalled should stop using it and either destroy it or return it to place of purchase immediately.
