Hello, I have developed a black tongue, it just happened today. I brush my teeth twice a day, I don't use mouthwash on a regular basis, however I do drink coffee and tea, though out the day, but I have done that for years.

Hi, none of the drugs you are using could cause black colouration of the tongue, new drug esteven is also a multivitamin and cant produce black tongue. worms can cause black tongue but slowly in a span of time.I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
Only thing possible is the food, like grapes, or some coloured foods . Thank you.
