Stichting Landelijke Registratie Evaluatie Bijwerkingen, Tilburg.

From January 1991 until June 1995. 25 cases were reported to the Netherlands Pharmacovigilance Foundation LAREB of yellow to brown tooth discoloration following the oral use of medication; 21 cases (84%) involved antibiotics, of which 14 were amoxicillin. 17/21 patients were children, with ages ranging from 1 to 10 years. All children used liquid formulations (suspension or solutabs). Discoloration was reversible in all cases, but had a protracted course in some. Presumably a pigment precipitated on (and not in) the teeth, but the nature of the pigment was uncertain.
