How can I keep pills & capsules from getting sticky & messy?!


Question:

How can I keep pills & capsules from getting sticky & messy?

I use a weekly pill box. I thought humidity in the house and the box not sealing was causing the pills & capsules to become sticky and gooey, so I bought another pill box. The new box is much sturdier, but it's still happening. I've removed all plants from inside the house. Temperature is set at 77 degrees, and I keep the A/C fan ON because I was told this is best for allergy sufferers. Thanks a million to whoever solves this problem and to Yahoo for allowing me to ask.


Answers:

I take 29 pills a day and some of those are capsules.
I set my pills in a dosette or pillbox and find that if I keep them in an overhead cabinet in the kitchen they last the full 7 days and don't go soggy at all.
Don't leave them laying around the house, and try putting them in an overhead cabinet.
Don't choose the cabinet directly above the stove, or they will be heat/ steam affected..
