Its possible they took pepto bismal the
night before. If you look on the bottle
it is a side effect. Happened to me one
time and I totally flipped out. I traced
back what I had done the night before and
I had eaten two pepto bismal tablets and
it clearly lists on the box that a black
tongue is a major side effect. I brushed
my teeth and tongue several times and was
able to get most of it off.

Black Tongue Posted: 08-05-04 10:16am
I had an upset stomach last night and took
some pepto bismol tablets before bedtime
and woke up with a black tongue. I
surfed for some answers and was pleased to
find the response posted here, thanks.
My only question now is why does pepto
cause a black tongue, pretty gross side
effect.

Chinese Black Tongue Posted: 01-30-05 23:57pm
Whew....I am living in a remote corner of
china and I awoke to find my tongue was
completely black. Before making the long
trek into a town to seek medical attention
I found this website. I took pepto bismal
last night, and I am relieved...I am still
going to a doctor........But I am
relieved.
