Desiccant acts as a pill protector in bottles of medication
DEAR DR. ROACH: I take telmisartan for high blood pressure. Included in each bottle is one of those tiny moisture-absorbent packs. Once the package is opened and I begin taking the pills, is it necessary to keep the dehydrator “pill” in the bottle, or can I discard it? I have, more than once, almost popped the dehydrator in my mouth, as it is so close to the telmisartan’s shape, size and color. Is telmisartan particularly prone to absorbing ambient water? None of my other medications contain dehydrators. -- H.W.

I diagnosed myself with a thyroid nodule and wondered how I, a physician, had failed to notice this large protuberance before that moment.
