Have you asked your pharmacist for ideas?

I'd think that anything that marked them, without making them damp, so they'd start to dissolve would be fine. You'd also want to avoid something that would make them stick together, so I do have concerns about the sugar, because it could sometimes do that.

I wonder if a good coloring pen, would work, since it would be something that you could use to mark them, without making them really wet?

I'd suggest checking with your pharmacist, they may even have a way that they can do it for you.
