    Area of Science:

    • Oral medicine
    • Dermatology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Oral pigmentation is a rare condition with various potential causes.
    • Medication-induced oral side effects require careful monitoring and documentation.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with noticeable brown pigmentation of their oral mucosa.
    • This pigmentation developed after prolonged, regular use of specific cough sweets and Theila-tablets.

    Findings:

    • The observed oral mucosal pigmentation is a potential adverse effect linked to the long-term consumption of wick-cough sweets and Theila-tablets.
    • The exact mechanism causing this pigmentation is not detailed but is suspected to be related to the ingredients or prolonged contact.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should be aware of this potential side effect when patients report oral discoloration.
    • Further investigation may be warranted to identify the specific causative agents in these products.
    • Patients using these products long-term should be advised to monitor for any changes in oral mucosal color.
