Ok. I looked on the drug database we have (Lexi-Comp), and all of this meds have an unpleasant strong taste, but the only one that mention the mint-like taste is Ethchlorvynol. This med is really old, almost not used. When used is only for insomia. If this is a real case, I'll ask about how the pill looks like.
Source(s): I'm a pharmacist. Look info on Medicinal Chemistry books or pharmacology books. The taste may be related to the structure. - hotdogsarefreeLv 51 decade ago

Check his medical records. Call the former pharmacist. There are many simple ways to find out.
