Alert – NDEWS –
This week’s NDEWS Weekly Briefing focuses exclusively on tianeptine, an atypical antidepressant that is increasingly sold in the United States under names like “ZaZa”, “Neptune’s Fix”, and “Tianna Red”. Tianeptine has been linked to serious health outcomes, particularly when used at doses far exceeding the therapeutic range or when combined with other substances. US Federal agencies including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and Department of Justice (DOJ) have issued warnings and taken enforcement actions, while multiple states have banned the substance.
NDEWS is monitoring the national scope of tianeptine-related harms through its biospatial and web monitoring reports, and the Early Warning Network. Multiple new peer-reviewed studies, public alerts, and surveillance reports are helping to clarify the scale and characteristics of this emerging threat.
