First of all, we need to clarify one thing that effervescent tablets are tablets containing effervescent disintegrants, which have high requirements for the moisture-proof performance of the packaging. The effervescent tablet tube is a special package used to store this kind of tablet. A desiccant is usually placed inside the package to absorb moisture. The material of the desiccant itself is silica gel, molecular sieve and a mixture of the two materials for customers to choose. It is non-toxic, harmless and highly hygroscopic.

And the difference of the effervescent tablet tube is mainly reflected in the bottle cap, and the cap of the effervescent tablet tube is provided with a small medicine compartment, which contains a desiccant. It can achieve zero contact between the desiccant and the medicine without contacting the medicine, and by the way, it can prevent children from eating the desiccant by mistake. And there are relevant regulations to regulate desiccants, such as the "Pharmaceutical Packaging Material Registration Certificate" has clear regulations.

So to sum up, unless the desiccant in the effervescent tube breaks and comes into contact with the drug to cause secondary pollution, the desiccant in the effervescent tube will not affect the effervescent tablet.
