From Hengyuan desiccant (www.shhyco.com), we learned that desiccants are often seen in medicines. Their main function is to prevent medicines from getting damp and moldy, thus extending their shelf life. Generally, when using medicine, the desiccant should be discarded first. Why? Because after the medicine box is opened, the desiccant will absorb moisture from the air. As we all know, there are certain bacteria in the air. If the medicine box lid is then closed, the desiccant will slowly release moisture inside. This may contaminate the medicine and cause deterioration. So the medicine desiccant

From Hengyuan Desiccants, we understand that people often see desiccants in medicines. Their main function is to prevent medicines from becoming damp and moldy, extending their shelf life. Generally, when using medicine, the desiccant should be discarded first. Why? Because after the medicine box is opened, the desiccant will absorb moisture from the air, and everyone knows that there are certain bacteria in the air. If the lid of the medicine box is then closed, the desiccant will slowly release it inside. This may contaminate the medicine and cause deterioration. So what are the components of the desiccant?

　　According to Hengyuan Desiccants, based on national requirements for pharmaceutical packaging desiccants, pharmaceutical desiccants are silica gel desiccants. The desiccants in medicines are silica gel desiccants, colorless and transparent granules, the main component being silicon dioxide. Silica gel desiccants are the only desiccants that can be used for food and medicine moisture prevention, and have passed FDA certification. Therefore, in terms of the safety of the desiccant itself, a small amount of accidental ingestion of silica gel desiccant will not harm the body (after all, the amount of silica gel desiccant used in medicine packaging is very small, approximately 0.5g-3g).
